ToxicityLow

The general rule of thumb to follow is to not inhale, ingest, feed to pets or babies, pour on the ground, or leave on skin.

All pigments should be assumed to be dangerous, and potentially lethal if mishandled. If the pigment has high or extreme toxicity, it might be better not to use it at all.
