To develop novel inorganic red pigments without harmful elements, we focused on the band structure of Ca
2 (Mg, Co)WO6 and attempted to narrow its bandgap by replacing the W6+ sites in the host structure of Mo6+ . Ca2 Mg1−x Cox W1−y Moy O6 (0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.30; 0.45 ≤ y ≤ 0.60) samples were synthesized by a sol-gel method using citric acids, and the crystal structure, optical properties, and color of the samples were characterized. The Ca2 Mg1−x Cox W1−y Moy O6 solid solution was successfully formed, which absorbed visible light at wavelengths below 600 nm. In addition, the absorption wavelength shifted to longer wavelengths with increasing Mo6+ content. This is because a new conduction band composed of a Co3d -W5d -Mo4d hybrid orbital was formed by Mo6+ doping to reduce the bandgap energy. Thus, the color of the samples gradually changed from pale orange to dark red, with a hue angle (h°) of less than 35°. Based on the above results, the optical absorption wavelength of the Ca2 Mg1−x Cox W1−y Moy O6 system can be controlled to change the color by adjusting the bandgap energy.
