Yellow to orange-red bismuth oxide-chromium oxide mixed phase pigments having a specific surface from about 1 to 10 m.sup.2 /g and the composition Bi.sub.2-x Cr.sub.x O.sub.3 wherein x is from about 0.05 to 0.5 are produced by mixing the appropriate quantities of finely disperse bismuth-(III)-- and chromium-III-- or chromium-(VI)-compounds, calcining the mixture in air at a temperature from about 500.degree. to 800.degree. C. and subsequently grinding. The products are suitable for pigmenting lacquers, plastics and dispersion dyes.
