Naples yellow (pigment) (synthetic inorganic yellow pigment, yellow pigment, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Warm yellow pigment containing lead antimonate that has been used as a colorant for glass, ceramic tiles, and paint for at least 3500 years. It is probably named after the its resemblance to the yellow minerals found at Mount Vesuvius near Naples, Italy, although it not well documented that the pigment was first made in Naples. The specific color of the pigment depends on the method and temperature of manufacture. It came into widespread use in the 18th century, replacing lead-tin yellow as the pigment most often used by artists in Europe. The term is also used loosely to refer to other pigments imitating Naples yellow but produced by mixing together pigments such as cadmium yellow, zinc white, ochre, and Venetian red.
