Vermilion is a brilliant red or scarlet coloured pigment historically derived from the sulfide mineral Cinnebar. Cinnebar comes from volcanic regions and alkaline hot springs, and Vermilion takes the form of a ground powder.

As a derivative of Mercury, Vermilion is toxic and care needs to be taken with its use and application. This web site is a general information site only and does not recommend or endorse any particular use.
