Hue or substitute.
Labeled as a hue: a substitute mixture for the named color. The name promises cadmium.
Cadmium colors are opaque, warm and strong, but cost more and are toxic if swallowed or breathed in as dust. Hues are cheaper and safer, and usually more transparent, so they cover less well.
Compared with Cadmium Yellow Medium (W&N Artisan, the same line):
- Price: this hue is series 1; Cadmium Yellow Medium from the same line is series 2.
- Opacity: semi-transparent here, opaque in the genuine.
- Safety: this hue has no cadmium; the genuine does.
