Description
Cinnabar was the name for either the natural or synthetic pigment before Vermilion became more common in the 17th century. By the late 18th century, cinnabar was generally applied only to the unground natural mineral. The medium tones of Chrome Yellow are mixed with Prussian Blue to create the formulation of Cinnabar Green.
