Notes
Lead-antimony yellows are produced from calcined mixtures of lead oxide and antimony oxide to which are added precisely controlled quantities of the oxides of tin, titanium or calcium. Additions of small quantities of iron oxide to the mixture before calcination increases the strength of the red constituent and produces orange shades.
