The invention discloses a method for improving the color of chromium oxide green, and aims to solve the problem that the tone of the traditional chromium oxide green prepared by thermally decomposing chromic anhydride is dark. The method comprises the following steps of: A, adding an additive in an amount which is 2 to 5 percent of the mass of the chromic anhydride, uniformly mixing the additive and the chromic anhydride, putting into a rotary kiln, and performing thermal decomposition reaction, wherein the additive is one of ammonium chloride, potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride; B, controlling the temperature of a high-temperature zone of the rotary kiln to 1,050-1,100 DEG C, feeding into the rotary kiln, and roasting for 3 to 4 hours; and C, grinding the chromium oxide green obtained by roasting into 600-mesh powder with the passing rate of over 90 percent, packaging and delivering after the product is qualified through detection. In order to improve the color brightness and coloring power of the chromic anhydride chromium green, the additive is added in the process of preparing the chromium oxide green by thermally decomposing the chromic anhydride to promote pigment synthesis reaction, and reducing atmosphere when the chromic anhydride is subjected to thermal decomposition is enhanced, so the chromium oxide green obtained by thermal decomposition has bright color, and the brightness and coloring power of the chromium oxide green are increased.
