Synthetic red pigments, such as cadmium red, are also widely used in the production of paints, inks, and plastics! 💞 Pink color: Pink can be produced by adding white to red, or by using pigments or dyes that are less intense or transparent than red. Some common pink pigments and dyes include carmine (made from the cochineal insect), fuchsia, and rose madder. The specific properties that lead to a red or pink color will depend on the specific molecule involved! ⚛️
