Description

  • Viridian is the standard green and is stable, powerful, and cold with an emerald green undertone.
  • It has a transparent hue, good tinting strength, a dark masstone that can be almost black at full strength, and a slow drying time in oil form.
  • Viridian is commonly replaced by the darker, more saturated, and staining Phthalo Greens, but its properties make it a necessary part of the palette of an experienced landscape painter.
  • Viridian name comes from the Latin viridis, meaning green.
  • The process for manufacturing Viridian, or Transparent Oxide of Chromium, was patented by Guignet in Paris in 1859.
  • However, it had actually been discovered by Pannetier and Binet in 1838.
  • Viridian replaced Verdigris, which was reactive and unstable, and Emerald Green, which was a poisonous copper aceto-arsenite used as a rat poison in the sewers of Paris.
