Old Holland? I'm surprised. Almost every tube of paint they sell says "extra" on it and is not the original "historical" pigment.

Maimeri sells Chrome Colors in their Artisti line and Holbein has a few rather fugitive colors "Emerald Green Nova" (an imitation with a low lightfastness rating).

Blockx offers Barium Chromate yellow. I've read that it's permanent and I've read that it's not. Some say Strontium chromate is more permanent. Some say Barium. All say lead chromates are the worst.
