Extended data:
Cinnabar is a color made of opaque cinnabar, which has been used as rouge for powder application since ancient times. But the pigment component is mercury sulfide, which is as toxic as all mercury compounds.
Because cinnabar was a positive color in ancient times, the emperor approved cinnabar, and royal buildings also decorated palace walls with cinnabar. Officials or rich people often paint their doors scarlet. This is the origin of "scarlet stinks, roads freeze to death (wine and meat in aristocratic homes stink, and poor people freeze to death in the streets)". In the Yin-Yang and Five Elements of Han Dynasty, cinnabar symbolizes Suzaku, referring to the south.
Because the purest cinnabar is very rare, naturally, cinnabar is extremely precious. In the Middle Ages, scarlet pigment was as precious as gold foil. In 2007, a bottle of 35 ml China cinnabar pigment may cost $65,438+070.
In painting, cinnabar uses cadmium as pigment, because cadmium is more stable than mercury, especially in watercolor. The mainstream commercial source of watercolor is Blockx. Unlike mercury sulfide, cadmium sulfide has a wide range of warm colors, including adding selenium or zinc to obtain colors. It ranges from lemon yellow to crimson, and is sometimes called "cadmium purple".
