PIGMENT COLOUR: VERDIGRIS

  • This colour is not used now. It was the most vibrant green available until the 19th century, and it was used through the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque.
  • It is a moderately-transparent bluish green, and it´s often mixed with lead white and lead-tin yellow.
  • It was usually used for landscapes and drapery. It was very used beacuse of its transparent abilities as a glaze on paintings. It can make a lot of mixtures.
