Orpiment 石黄(sekio): An inorganic colorant ground from a soft, yellow mineral composed of Arsenic trisulfide.
Orpiment and turmeric have been the most commonly detected yellows as a single colorant as well as a mixture of the two. Orpiment may have been added to turmeric to add tinting strength or to increase opaqueness.
