Colour Cadmium Yellow

How do you define permanent and cadmium watercolours?
I notice there are several different types of cadmium colours (such as cadmium red, orange,yellow..etc)
Does a colour referred to as permanent act differently then other watercolours? I'm not sure how they are different or if its just a name.
Thanks!
It has to do with the chemical composition of the pigment used to make the paint. Some artists shy away from cadmium as it is a poison. How they "act" will depend on the manufacturer and how the paint is processed. Test them out...you want to use the color and "action" that works best for you. With the cadmium you want to try not to allow the paint to absorb into your skin...work neatly, or use gloves, or there are creams that prohibit the absorption.
