In traditional areas such as ceramic tiles, praseodymium oxide in a zirconium silicate matrix is used as a yellow stain. Cerium oxide is used as an opacifier or to give esthetic effects in the glaze. Other pigment colours, such as orange with yttrium oxide and light purple with neodymium oxide can be prepared. The compositions of these pigments are given in Table 12.19. 

A range of coloured pigments based on the sulfide of the rare earth element cerium have been recently introduced (industrial production since 1997), with colours ranging fi om yellow to red. Ceriinn sulfide itself has an intense red colour however, by the introduction of an alkaline element (lithium, sodium) in small proportions, the dark red colour is transformed into a light red to orange.
