It is the very property that cadmium and sulfur can be lattice substituted to a con­siderable extent by members of their own periodic groups that gives rise to the broad range of colors possible in the cadmium palette.

This property, coupled with excellent insolubility and outstanding heat resis­tance, makes them truly high-performance pigments.

The replacement of some cadmium with zinc ions in the CdS lattice produces a shift in color from deep yellow to pale primrose. Similarly, the partial substitution of sulfur for selenium in the lattice produces progressively deeper red shades.

Again, as already mentioned, mercury can also replace cadmium in the crystal lattice, giving rise to the former mercadmium range of pigments.
