Re: “It's Prussian blue; it fades.”

Indeed ... nothing is worst than bad ink.
My grand mother use to dye her hair blue for them to look whiter than white ... and indeed ... it works. You might be right about Prussian blue being an ink ... but the color (just giving a break to my spell checker here) Prussian blue do exist in paint! Highly recommended this combination, to any baby steppers in oil painting, of a mixture of the PB and the yellow amber. At a point I had no choice and use mustard and methylene blue.[;o)

The story of Blue! (there is a Bach link in this article ... so ... it's not like I'm going on a Kaboom OT routine, here.

Very interesting! I read the Bach quote long ago but never knew
anything about Prussian Blue. Live and learn.

I knew that Prussian blue was an ink and a paint but yellow amber ink
would be unusual, I think. You like to work with paints. That must be
relaxing! More appropriately, that must be relaxing. :-)
