In this post, i'm going to explore the color palette that i will use on my collection in base of my research about colors.
Beginning with my research base, the painting from Bosch. Bosch painted in a style known as alla prima, a painting technique in which pigments are laid on in one application with little or no underpainting.
the Renaissance palette mirrored that of the Medieval Age but for three pigments: Naples yellow, smalt and carmine lake (cochineal). Other reds were vermilion and madder lake, which brought to Europe by crusaders in the 12th century.
The Renaissance color palette also featured realgar and among the blues azurite, ultramarine and indigo. The greens were verdigris, green earth and malachite; the yellows were Naples yellow, orpiment, and lead-tin yellow. Renaissance browns were obtained from umber. Whites were lead white, gypsum and lime white, and blacks were carbon black and bone black.

After searching about the color pigments, i went to Pantone Website and clicked in "find Pantone color"
The origin of lead-tin-yellow can be dated back to at least the thirteenth century when Type II was applied in frescos, perhaps having been discovered as a by-product of crystal glass production. Until the eighteenth century, Type I was the standard yellow used in oil painting.
is one out of the 4 types of Carmine; it is a deep red powder, made of lacquered aluminum and carminic acid, and is soluble in alkaline solutions. It is obtained by aqueous extraction of cochineal color, followed by a drying and grinding process. It provides an deep red color solution.
Copper Resinate and verdigris
A transparent jade-green glaze formed by dissolving copper salts in Venice turpentine.
Verdigris is the ur-turquoise. It is also sometimes known as “copper green” or “earth green,” since the pigment was commonly made from ground-up malachite or oxidized copper deposits.
