Regarding Toxic Pigments

As someone who is fairly new to the idea of using paint that comes from anywhere other than the local Michael's, I had no idea that pigments could be detrimental to your health. When I found out about this, I thought that it would be a good idea to locate a list of which pigments are toxic and how to handle them (and it's probably a doubly good idea when I take my ever so slight clumsiness into account.) Hey, it's always nice to know what you're dealing with beforehand.

At any rate...

I present to you, internet, a lovely list of pigments, their ingredients, and their hazards:

So many of them were classified as highly toxic. Especially when consumed.... Who on earth tried that?
