The pale green pigment came from the artisans who used specific clays and potting techniques to create the style now associated with the name. Chemically, celadon is formed by combining chromium oxide, cadmium yellow, and titanium-zinc white. It was most commonly used in Chinese, Korean and Japanese art and spread to the other Asian cultures.
