What color is Paris Green?
Paris green is a color that has a dark history.
It is an arsenic-based organic pigment that was used as a rodenticide, insecticide and paint in the 19th century.
It is also known as emerald green, Schweinfurt green or Vienna green.
It has a hex triplet of #50C878 and a hue of 140 degrees.
It is a highly toxic emerald-green crystalline powder that can cause skin lesions, vomiting, diarrhea and cancer.
It was popular among the social elite in France and England, especially after Empress Eugenie wore a gown of this color in 1864.
However, many people suffered or died from exposure to this pigment, especially the workers who made artificial flowers and accessories with it.
Paris green is a color that is both beautiful and deadly.
