"Lead White" still exists as an oil painting color. Some people use it instead of gesso to prime canvases/whatever. But they don't use it for houses anymore. I hope. Actually, there are still a few colors for painting that have lead in them. Also, Cadmium is pretty bad too. Snobby artists think that since people in the past used it, it's better than new, safer paint. Yay.
