Hue or substitute.
Labeled as a hue: a substitute mixture for the named color. The name promises lead chromate (chrome green adds Prussian blue).
Chrome colors are lead chromate: toxic, and they darken over time. They're hardly sold as oil paint any more, so a hue is what you'll find; hues are safer and more stable.
No line in the catalog sells the genuine pigment.
What's in the tube: 2 pigments
Bar widths are estimates: makers list pigments roughly in order of amount but don't publish proportions.
Same color from other brands
Same pigments is the closest match. Similar mix shares the main pigment. Similar color looks alike but is made differently.
