WHAT DOES CHROME YELLOW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chrome yellow

Chrome Yellow is a natural yellow pigment made of lead chromate. It was first extracted from the mineral crocoite by the French chemist Louis Vauquelin in 1797. Because the pigment tends to oxidize and darken on exposure to air over time, and it contains lead, a toxic, heavy metal, it was originally replaced by another pigment, Cadmium Yellow. Cadmium pigments on their own are toxic as well from the cadmium content, and have themselves been replaced with azo pigments. Chrome yellow had been commonly produced by mixing solutions of lead nitrate and potassium chromate and filtering off the lead chromate precipitate.
