A short 1869 article from The Manufacturer and Builder on making chrome-orange pigment, a basic lead chromate. It describes preparing it from chrome-yellow with caustic potash, soda or lime, or directly from lead solutions, and how alkalinity controls the shade. It also discusses adulteration of chrome yellows and oranges with plaster of Paris and heavy spar, and the need to test the pigment's covering power.
