Worked - and made cobalt violet - while working with anaerobic bacterial - they oxidize/reduce the cobalt to higher or lower oxidation states based on coupling to their metabolism, and these redox reactions were part of my Thesis project. It is - along with the Manganese blue - by far the least dangerous color on this list, you'd have to ingest a fairly significant amount to get toxicity. The most annoying thing about it was how electrostatic it was in powder form, you had to keep it completely sealed or it would go EVERYWHERE, the fume hood still had purple stains 2 years later LOL.
Cobalt and lead and still around, I have them in my kit along with cadmium. You shouldn't ingest or let any oil paint sit on your skin, so long as you follow basic studio discipline for all your paints there isn't too much concern for those ones. Cobalt teal and turquoise are super nice colours imo.
Most of these are only toxic if inhaled as powder or ingested. If most of these got on your skin, especially if they were in oil, they wouldn't be absorbed, or at least wouldn't be absorbed enough to do harm. Not all of these pigments are still used, but if you look up the MSDS for the paints made with those that are, they're considered nontoxic for their intended use. Even lead paint is not that big of a risk and is still very popular with oil painters. I believe burnt umber or another earth brown often has manganese, and cadmiums and cobalts are still very popular. Considering how our society has an irrational fear of chemicals, I think this video does a disservice to people in general and paintmakers and artists in particular.

@@lapisinfernalis9052 "Ferric cyanide: it's basically cyanide in name only!" But seriously, as someone who works extensively with cadmium and cobalt paints, owns at least one tube of legitimate flake white, and isn't planning on living much past 65 or so anyway... I mean, as a professionally trained artist who has spent a lot of time talking to actual paint manufacturers, (Mark Golden and Art Guerra among them,) I have generally much concern for many of the "toxic" pigments than the average person probably should. (The biggest problem with many of them is not so much their toxicity to the painter, unless you're an absolute slob and can't manage to not get paint on yourself, but with how people dispose of the used materials afterward. I've worked in about a dozen separate kinds of painting media, and absolutely the only materials that I ever consider "safe" to wash in a sink connected to central plumbing are airbrush paints, because they're fundamentally formulated to be wholly non-toxic in the first place.) And even with that in mind, Prussian Blue is fundamentally harmless. Even the precursor component used in cyanotypes, (blueprints, which, through a photographic process, chemically fix into Prussian Blue pigment as the print develops,) potassium ferricyanide, is basically harmless in humans. The reason for this, as I understand, is because the mechanism of harm by which cyanide normally acts is by binding to iron atoms within a biological host. This pulls the iron out of whatever useful process it was being used for by the body and inhibits normal cell transport mediation. Ferricyanide is _already_ bonded to iron atom, and it's the strength of this bond that would normally make it so dangerous to a living organism, as once cyanide has bonded to the useful trace iron in the body, the body can't get it back. But ferricyanide can't easily break apart from the iron bond it already has, so the cyanide isn't available to bond to the necessary iron in the body, rendering ferricyanides functionally biologically inert, and remarkably safe as an artist material. (Still wouldn't flush it down the drain though.) My understanding is that this isn't profoundly different from the issues with cadmium pigments. Or at least, that with professional formulations, the cadmium compounds that are actually used in fine artist paints are not sufficiently bioavailable to cause toxicity in humans. I'm not strictly sure how true that is, but either way, the prevailing problem remains that people will try to dispose of these materials into public water reclamation systems, rather than collecting the dried up paint and disposing of it as hazardous material, (or just recycling it back into new piece as the crunched up base layer cemented down with healthy serving of acrylic.)
@@RamadaArtist I am a Chemist. Prussian Blue's precursor is only dangerous if you add strong acids because then you can break the complex apart and you get free cyanide. Cyanide does not really "steal" the iron in your blood, but blocks it at the same location as oxygen does. The problem is, that contrary to oxygen or CO2, cyanide (and CO) don't really like to "let it go" once they bound to it. This causes your blood not to be able to transport oxygen to the cells anymore, so you basically choke internally. Paint should be seen as chemicals. And you don't flush chemicals down the drain.
@@lapisinfernalis9052 "Paint should be seen as chemicals. And you don't flush chemicals down the drain." 100% And I say I'm a "professional trained artist" but I'll say this: a couple of years after I finished my BFA, the senior painting studios, (fortunately on the top floor of the Fine Arts administration studio, and not below it,) caught on fire and burned the entire floor of the building down to the bones. Sadly, the culprit was obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of the science of artist materials. The vast majority of painting majors were primarily focused on using oil paints. Between standard drying oils, quick drying alkyds and modern oil-soluble painting media, along with the turpentine/terpenoid solvents, a bunch of the materials that are part of the waste paint itself, plus the paper towels and cotton rags that get used and often thrown out in the process of cleaning brushes... the disposal bins are _rife_ with the perfect circumstances for autoignition. Fortunately, all of the studio classes as well as private upper classman studios are provided with little metal "hazardous material" disposal cans which should have limited the amount of combustible material in one location and provided a fireproof boundary to prevent airflow from feeding the flames in the event of a small solvent fire. Unfortunately, the school also provided standard 60 gallon trash bins for the disposal of all other waste materials and normal trash. Also unfortunately, the school didn't _strongly_ stress importance of the lessons of the 1.5 credit artist materials class that painting majors were required to take. I *loved* that class, but my impression is that most of my fellow students barely registered that it existed. I'd bet my life's earnings that the senior studios fire started because of improper chemical disposal. As an artist, I'm also an art historian. But I was raised by engineers, (who did their best to try and get me to do anything other than go to art school.) So I both am aware of the necessity of scientific understanding of leading artists at most points in history, and I have a decent enough handle on the physical properties of the materials we're working with to appreciated that most artists, let alone students or hobbyists, simply are not given sufficient and accurate enough training to reasonably work with a lot of the materials that are available on the market today. This drives me crazy, because it endangers the general population. For the sake of materials that the average hobbyist doesn't know what to do with, artistically speaking, anyway, while making those materials possibly unreasonably unattainable or expensive for someone like me, who has spent the time, training and research to know how to use them without unduly exposing the public to the consequences of their usage. And it's like... I would want the standard to be a higher level of education, such that we can trust the public to not behave irresponsibly with substances they haven't studied and don't understand. Instead it seems like the standard is to simply assume that education is impossible, and the broad assessment is that we simply can't expect people to behave responsibly. Which, like, might be true, but I don't love the implications.
My top is the Manganese Blue because that color is to die for, pun fully intended lol. I adore that shade of blue and pray someone someday will find a way to make a nontoxic true replica. A close second is the Emerald Green, that shade of green is very stunning and I can see why the Victorians were obsessed with it. Again would love it if someone someday created a true replica that didn’t come with the toxicity.
As a fellow manganese blue lover, I've found paints made of it via etsy (all watercolour tho as it makes a super unique texture as well as colour). Did I order some? Yes.
That manganese blue is so beautiful as well as emerald green and London purple is crazy how some of the deadliest paints are the most unique and gorgeous paints as well
I love naples yellow and cobalt paints. Cobalt and chromium just make such beautiful blues and greens. I think not enough painters treat their paints and pigments like the heavy metals and toxic chemicals they are. If you're gonna paint with something that has a toxic pigment, ESPECIALLY if watersoluble, make sure you've researched how to safely decontaminate spaces, and dispose of the material properly.
In the 1950s, my mother worked in a printing company that made transfers for the pottery industry. They used cobalt and the workers were told to be very careful with it because it was more expensive than the gold they also used, not because it was toxic. I don't think they even knew it was dangerous.
Funnily enough, as someone who does Chinese and Japanese calligraphy i work with cinnabar all the time. You know those red stamps you see on almost every piece of east asian art? The "ink" used for that is a thick cinnabar paste. It's just kinda accepted that if you want to put your signature on your work you have to work with a material that contains a high concentration of mercury every time you do so.
I know manganese blue is transparent in watercolor (the real stuff, not the imitation), and so is cobalt violet, so I wonder if what she has is actually pure. She's also applying the paint quite thickly, so the opacity might be due to her supply and technique more than the pigments themselves.
@@pendlera2959 I recall cobalt violet watercolor as being semi-opaque (but on the more transparent side) with a tendency to granulate, but it's been a very long time since I've done watercolor painting.
I have cinnabar stones upstairs. Bought it and lapis to make paint a long time ago. ...only ever made the ultramarine for obvious reasons... Still want to make paint from it, but want to be safe. A chemistry degree knocked the sense into me.
As a colour I like emerald green best, but as a pigment that cobalt violet looks pretty unique. Most violet pigments look slightly too dark in their purest form but diluting with titanium white gives that "blueberry yogurt" look... lbut that's a beautiful shade of violet
Cobalt Violet!!! So pretty 😍!! And in second is the manganese blue, both such beautiful colors. I might change my mind if I saw a full color slpotching of the last one tho, that one is very certainly interesting. 🥰

My top is the Manganese Blue because that color is to die for, pun fully intended lol. I adore that shade of blue and pray someone someday will find a way to make a nontoxic true replica. A close second is the Emerald Green, that shade of green is very stunning and I can see why the Victorians were obsessed with it. Again would love it if someone someday created a true replica that didn’t come with the toxicity.
Windsor and Newton has a color that’s supposed to replicate it.
nike recentley made a shoe with a nearly identical color if it helps, its called the military blue jordan 4 but it is sold out :(
As a fellow manganese blue lover, I've found paints made of it via etsy (all watercolour tho as it makes a super unique texture as well as colour).
Did I order some? Yes.
All of them are so pretty. Beautiful but deadly.
These colors are to die for 😍
..Literally-
Frfr
QUITE literally ●`-`●
That manganese blue is so beautiful as well as emerald green and London purple is crazy how some of the deadliest paints are the most unique and gorgeous paints as well
that emerald green and the mangnese blue is really pretty and beautiful💙💚
I love naples yellow and cobalt paints. Cobalt and chromium just make such beautiful blues and greens. I think not enough painters treat their paints and pigments like the heavy metals and toxic chemicals they are. If you're gonna paint with something that has a toxic pigment, ESPECIALLY if watersoluble, make sure you've researched how to safely decontaminate spaces, and dispose of the material properly.
In the 1950s, my mother worked in a printing company that made transfers for the pottery industry. They used cobalt and the workers were told to be very careful with it because it was more expensive than the gold they also used, not because it was toxic. I don't think they even knew it was dangerous.
Funnily enough, as someone who does Chinese and Japanese calligraphy i work with cinnabar all the time. You know those red stamps you see on almost every piece of east asian art? The "ink" used for that is a thick cinnabar paste. It's just kinda accepted that if you want to put your signature on your work you have to work with a material that contains a high concentration of mercury every time you do so.
Don't eat it. Problem solved.
I Hope you wear gloves 😂
I like the London purple, I just like the muffled like purple tone that it has
London Violet.
I noticed these paints seem to be mostly very opaque. Interesting.
I know manganese blue is transparent in watercolor (the real stuff, not the imitation), and so is cobalt violet, so I wonder if what she has is actually pure. She's also applying the paint quite thickly, so the opacity might be due to her supply and technique more than the pigments themselves.
@@pendlera2959I guess that's bc she uses them in oil form, watercolors are more transparent usually
@@pendlera2959 I recall cobalt violet watercolor as being semi-opaque (but on the more transparent side) with a tendency to granulate, but it's been a very long time since I've done watercolor painting.
@@pendlera2959 They're oil paints. Of course they're opaque.
Cobalt Violence is by far the prettiest. You misspoke and called it "violet" but subtitles don't lie.
Man, they look so beautiful

Well now we know you are that person.
You are not.
Dang I didnt mean to start a war...
Emerald Green is absolutely gorgeous!
I like the Emerald Green! :)
It’s gorgeously deadly.
Gosh darn it why are the deadliest colors just SO DAMN PRETTY!?!?!? I WANT THEM ON MY WALLS!!!!!
In the wild, that's how you know to NOT... ;)
I have cinnabar stones upstairs. Bought it and lapis to make paint a long time ago. ...only ever made the ultramarine for obvious reasons...
Still want to make paint from it, but want to be safe. A chemistry degree knocked the sense into me.
chrome green and manganese blue are stunning !!
Torchic, Litten, charmander, Pikachu, turtwig in that order
Emerald green/Paris green has always been my absolute favorite deadly colour, it's so pretty and is definitely one of my favorite colours in general.
Emerald green is my favorite. Then the purple and next the blue. Such beautiful colors!❤️
The person at their front door during halloween explaining exactly what they did to the Skittles I ingested 4 seconds ago after I started coughing:
As a colour I like emerald green best, but as a pigment that cobalt violet looks pretty unique. Most violet pigments look slightly too dark in their purest form but diluting with titanium white gives that "blueberry yogurt" look... lbut that's a beautiful shade of violet
Emerald green, the blouse and the purples are SO GORGEOUS
I love London Violet.
It's like black, and that's my
favourite colour.
"Emerald green" has to be one of my favorite "greens" because it can range from actuslly green to just being blue
Cobalt Violet!!! So pretty 😍!! And in second is the manganese blue, both such beautiful colors. I might change my mind if I saw a full color slpotching of the last one tho, that one is very certainly interesting. 🥰
Torchic, Litten, Charmander, Pikachu, Turtwig! Super hard to spot, nice work! My favorite of these colors was cobalt violet
Whereeee 😭
@@cache_valley_cryptid they mostly appear in the center of the screen and flash around randomly so if u see something flash on the screen then its a pokemon probably
All are so beautiful. I'm partial to the Cobalt Violet. I've always loved color...my first word being, "bowbow" (rainbow) my mother told me lol. That love of color has been with me my entire life, and I use it daily. I absolutely LOVED your video on the correct color wheel!!! Big high five! Glad to know that I'm not the only one out there who knew that 💜. Thank you for making these videos. Keep up the amazing, informative work 🎨🖌️💜
I got 5 pokémon! Also London Violet!❤❤❤
Ya know...the victorians were onto something with that green though...
I love london purple it's so pretty
Paris green is stunning
What you find out at the end of the rainbow is that your life ends at the end of the rainbow
Wow, cobalt violet is GORGEOUS!
Now, I realize why my friends call me arsenic...
Your toxic🫸🤯🫷
@@MxPhantomWing uh. How do YOU know that
@@Agasthika-Vashiya cause arsenic is toxic 🤓👆
@@MxPhantomWing ik that, Maybe they r lying?
my dumbass thought it was because you were orange for a minute 😭😭 sorry bro
Love your vids! You're awesome!! ❤
Glorious! My favourite is the chrome green!
Question! What do you do with these deadly swatches when you're done? I would be nervous about them laying around the studio or house for obvious reasons lol
Cobalt violet is my favorite 4 sure
The cobalt violet is so pretty omgg
You don't find a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, you find a pot of arsenic, lead and mercury.
I think I might be a little early
I love your videos keep it up! ❤️
Emerald green, it is such a pretty shade, but all of them look stunning! Would never use them personally, but will gladly look at them all day.
