You've heard of The Colour Out of Space, now get ready for green.
🟩 Specifically the deadly Scheele’s green. Scheele’s green was a beautiful and very dangerous pigment that was nonetheless incredibly popular in the early to mid-19th century.
🎨 Unlike other pigments, it was vivid and cheap, and wouldn't fade into a dull vomity grey.
🌿👒 Scheele’s green showed up during what I would call a Victorian Era cottagecore trend, where people were romanticizing nature and botanical palettes.
