Chrome orange

Chrome orange is a mixed oxide with the chemical formula Pb2CrO5. It can be made by treating a lead(II) salt with an alkaline solution of a chromate or by treating chrome yellow (PbCrO4) with strongly basic solution.[2]

Chrome orange was used extensively in Frederic Leighton's Flaming June (1895; Museo de Arte de Ponce).[1]
