* For Oil, the word “Hue” following the paint name designates that the paint maker has substituted a cheaper pigment in the color to save money, and remove the dangerous and expensive pigment.  In oil paint, colors without the word “hue” mean that it contains “cadmium” or “cobalt”, is dangerous, but is a better paint.  You are more than welcome to use colors with the harmful metals if you would like.  For Acrylic paint, they already have removed the harmful materials, and it is simply a weaker and or (slightly) different color.
