The shade that came from iron oxide deposits in the earth would not fade with the changing environment. By the 18th century, synthetic red iron oxide pigments were being made in a laboratory setting. Called Mars Red, these pigments were found to have all the properties, including the durability and permanence of their natural counterparts.
