Liquitex Professional Cadmium-Free Acrylic Gouache colors deliver the brilliant intensity, richness, opacity, lightfastness, and fluid application of their cadmium counterparts with none of the environmental or health concerns, setting a new standard in safety and performance.

Unlike cadmium hues—mixed pigment blends that only approximate the depth and tonal quality of true cadmium pigments—this cadmium-free collection perfectly replicates the intensity, spacing, depth, richness, lightfastness, and handling of their genuine cadmium counterparts. The Liquitex lab team utilized cutting-edge advancements in organic and inorganic pigments to create colors offering superb coverage and mixing ability. They’re so accurate, they proved indistinguishable from true cadmiums in thousands of blind tests by professional artists.

Certified as safe for use in studios and educational settings by the Art and Creative Materials Institute (ACMI), these Liquitex Professional Cadmium-Free colors carry the AP seal. They have been toxicologically evaluated to ensure they contain no materials harmful to humans, making them a safer choice for artists at every stage of their practice.
