Indigo is both a dye and a pigment extracted from Indigofera tinctoria and related species, which have been cultivated in East Asia, Egypt, India, Bangladesh, and Peru since antiquity. The earliest direct evidence for the use of indigo dates to around 4000 BC and comes from Huaca Prieta in contemporary Peru. Pliny the Elder mentions India as the source of the dye, after which it was named. It was imported from there in small quantities via the Silk Road to Europe.

Smalt is a medium ground potassium glass of blue color. The blue is due to small amounts of cobalt added as cobalt oxide during manufacture and the finer particle size when compared to Royal Smalt.

Green Bice is a cool, pale green made from basic copper carbonate (the same chemistry as malachite, but typically paler and more uniform). It’s valued for its soft, slightly bluish “mineral green” and for mixtures that need a gentle, naturalistic green without the intensity of modern phthalos. Use it for muted foliage, distant greens, and atmospheric passages; note that heavy grinding can lighten the hue. As with other copper pigments, avoid contaminating dust, and be cautious about mixing with sulfur-containing pigments or exposing finished work to sulfur fumes, which can darken copper greens over time.

Victoria Green (PG 51) is a quietly powerful green: a pale, mineral-like color that stays stable in virtually any technique.
