Naples yellow, also called antimony yellow, is an inorganic pigment used paintings during 1700-1850.[2] Colors range from a muted, or earthy, reddish yellow pigment to a bright light yellow. It is the chemical compound lead antimonate (Pb2Sb2O7). Also known as jaune d'antimoine, it is one of the oldest synthetic pigments, dating from around 1620. The related mineral is bindheimite. However, this natural version was rarely, if ever, used as a pigment.

The mineral orpiment is the oldest yellow pigment, but Naples yellow, is the oldest clear yellow pigment of synthetic origin.[3]

Portion of the dilead antimonate (Pb2Sb2O7) structure (black = Pb, violet = Sb, red = O). This structure illustrates the complex, polymeric nature of many inorganic pigments.[4]

It largely replaced lead-tin-yellow during the eighteenth century.

The first recorded use of Naples yellow as a color name in English was in 1738.[5] The source of this color is: Color Sample of Naples Yellow (color sample #83), ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Color Names (1955).

After 1800, Naples Yellow discontinued, being replaced by chrome yellow (lead chromate), cadmium sulfide, and cobalt yellow.[2]
