Colour, Pigments and Dyes Science, Art & Nature COLOUR, PIGMENTS AND DYES SCIENCE, ART & NATURE Ken Derham Halesworth U3A Science Group, April 2019 WHAT IS COLOUR? • Colour is a characteristic of human visual perception. • This perception of colour derives from the stimulation of cone cells in the human eye by electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. Wikipedia VISIBLE LIGHT A triangular prism dispersing a beam of white light. The longer wavelengths (red) and the shorter wavelengths (blue) are separated. Wikipedia Violet light - Shorter wavelength, higher frequency has higher energy E = h v (Planck’s equation) WHY DO OBJECTS APPEAR COLOURED? Objects appear different colours because they absorb some colours (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colours. The colours we see are the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted. White objects appear white because they reflect all colours. Black objects absorb all colours so no light is reflected. TRANSMITTED LIGHT PRIMARY COLOURS: ADDITIVE MIXING OF LIGHT • Mix Red, Green, and Blue light, you get white light. • Red, green, and blue (RGB) are referred to as the primary colours of light. • Mixing the colours generates new colours, as shown on the colour wheel. This is additive colour. • As more colours are added, the result becomes lighter, heading towards white. • RGB is used to generate colour on a computer screen, a TV, and other electronic displays. PRIMARY COLOURS: SUBTRACTIVE MIXING OF PIGMENTS • Mixing colours using paint, or ink, uses subtractive colour mixing. • The primary colours of light are red, green, and blue. • If you subtract these from white you get cyan, magenta, and yellow. • Mixing the colours generates new colours as shown on the colour wheel. • Mixing these three primary colours generates black. As you mix colours, they tend to get darker, ending up as black. • The CMYK colour system (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) is the colour system used for printing. PRIMARY COLOURS AND MIXING OF COLOURS PIXELS • "Pixels" (short for "Picture Elements") are small dots that make up the images on digital displays (computers, TVs, digital cameras etc). • The screen is divided up into a matrix of thousands or even millions of pixels. • Typically, you cannot see the individual pixels, because they are so small. This is good, because most people prefer to look at smooth, clear images rather than blocky, "pixelated" ones. • A resolution of 640x480 is comprised of a matrix of 640 by 480 pixels, or 307,200 in all. That's a lot of little dots. • Each pixel can only be one colour at a time. However, since they are so small, pixels often blend together to form various shades and blends of colours. PIXELS Schematic of a Pixel Matrix PIXELS • Reproduction of an image created with 16 million pixels, each corresponding to a different colour on the full set of RGB colours. • The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colours COLOURANTS: PIGMENTS AND DYES • Most pigments are dry colourants, usually ground into a fine powder. • For use in paint, this powder is added to a binder (or vehicle), a relatively neutral or colourless material that suspends the pigment and gives the paint its adhesion. • A distinction is usually made between • a pigment, which is insoluble in its vehicle (resulting in a suspension), and • a dye, which either is itself a liquid or is soluble in its vehicle (resulting in a solution). • A colourant can act as either a pigment or a dye depending on the vehicle involved. PIGMENTS Dan Brady - https://www.flickr.com/photos/11853009@N07/1382064216 , https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3534510 EARLY HISTORY OF PIGMENTS • The earliest known pigments were natural minerals. • Natural iron oxides give a range of colours and are found in many cave paintings. • Two examples include Red Ochre, anhydrous Fe2O3, and . hydrated Yellow Ochre - Fe2O3 H2O • Charcoal—or carbon black—has also been used as a black pigment since prehistoric times. • Pigments and paint grinding equipment believed to be between 350,000 and 400,000 years old have been found in a cave in Zambia HISTORY OF PIGMENTS • Before the Industrial Revolution, the range of colour available for art and decorative uses was limited. Most were mineral pigments or pigments of biological origin. • Pigments from unusual sources such as botanical materials, animal waste, insects, and molluscs were harvested and traded over long distances. • Some colours were costly or impossible to obtain, given the range of pigments that were available. Blue and purple came to be associated with royalty because of their rarity. ULTRAMARINE • Ultramarine is a deep blue pigment which was originally made by grinding lapis lazuli into a powder. • The name comes from the Latin ultramarinus, literally "beyond the sea", because the pigment was imported into Europe from mines in Afghanistan by Italian traders during the 14th and 15th centuries. • Ultramarine was the finest and most expensive blue used by Renaissance painters. It was often used for the robes of the Virgin Mary, and symbolized holiness and humility. • It remained an extremely expensive pigment until a synthetic ultramarine was invented in 1826. ULTRAMARINE Lapis lazuli Natural ultramarine Synthetic ultramarine blue USE OF ULTRAMARINE Masaccio, 1426 Sassoferrato, 1654 CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE Azurite, Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, i.e. copper(II) mixture of carbonate and hydroxide • More widely available • But not stable in air • Presumably looked nice in a fresh painting but did not last SYNTHETIC PIGMENTS – PRUSSIAN BLUE • Prussian blue (Turnbull's blue) was the first modern synthetic blue pigment. • Ferric ferrocyanide: Fe7(CN)18 or Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 · xH2O SYNTHETIC PIGMENTS – PRUSSIAN BLUE • Prepared as a very fine colloidal dispersion. Its appearance depends on the size of the colloidal particles (PB cf TB) • Prussian blue pigment is significant since it was the first stable and relatively lightfast blue pigment to be widely used • Easily made, cheap, nontoxic, and intensely coloured • Prussian blue has attracted many applications. It was almost immediately widely used in oil, watercolour, and dyeing • 12,000 tonnes of Prussian blue are produced annually especially for use in black and blue inks. USES OF PRUSSIAN BLUE IN ART The Great Wave off Van Gogh's Starry Night uses Kanagawa by Hokusai makes Prussian and cerulean blue extensive use of Prussian blue pigments CERULEAN BLUE • Cobalt stannate (CoSnO3), introduced as a pigment in the 1860s. • Very stable and lightfast blue with limited hiding power. • Cerulean blue has a fairly true blue but it doesn't have the opacity or richness of cobalt blue. • Not recommended for use in watercolor painting because of chalkiness in washes. • In oil, it was particularly valuable to landscape painters for skies. SOME METAL-BASED PIGMENTS • Aluminium pigment: Aluminium powder • Cadmium: cadmium yellow, cadmium red, cadmium green, cadmium orange, cadmium sulfoselenide • Chromium: chrome yellow and chrome green (viridian) • Cobalt pigments: cobalt violet, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, aureolin (cobalt yellow) • Copper pigments: Azurite, Han purple, Han blue, Egyptian blue, Malachite, Paris green, Phthalocyanine Blue BN, Phthalocyanine Green G, verdigris • Iron oxide: sanguine, caput mortuum, oxide red, red ochre, Venetian red, Prussian blue • Lead pigments: lead white, cremnitz white, Naples yellow, red lead, lead-tin-yellow • Manganese : manganese violet, YInMn blue • Mercury pigments: vermilion • Titanium pigments: titanium yellow, titanium beige, titanium white, titanium black • Zinc pigments: zinc white, zinc ferrite, zinc yellow TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS ENABLED… … ARTISTIC INNOVATION • Claude Monet • In the Woods at Giverny: Blanche Hoschedé at Her Easel DYES AND BIOLOGICAL COLOURANTS • Biological pigments were often difficult to acquire, and the details of their production were kept secret by the manufacturers. • Tyrian Purple is a pigment made from the mucus of one of several species of Murex snail. • Production of Tyrian Purple for use as a fabric dye began as early as 1200 BCE by the Phoenicians, and was continued by the Greeks and Romans • The pigment was expensive and complex to produce, and items coloured with it became associated with power and wealth. • Greek historian Theopompus, writing in the 4th century BCE, reported that "purple for dyes fetched its weight in silver at Colophon [in Asia Minor]." DYES • The discovery in 1856 of mauveine, the first aniline dye, was a forerunner for the development of hundreds of synthetic dyes and pigments like azo and diazo compounds which are the source of a wide spectrum of colours. • Mauveine was discovered by an 18-year-old chemist, William Henry Perkin, who went on to exploit his discovery in industry and become wealthy. • His success attracted a generation of followers, as young scientists went into organic chemistry to pursue riches. • Within a few years, chemists had synthesized a substitute for madder in the production of Alizarin Crimson. • By the closing decades of the 19th century, textiles, paints, and other commodities in colours such as red, crimson, blue, and purple had become affordable WILLIAM HENRY PERKIN (1838-1907) • Discovered Mauveine in 1856 when attempting to synthesise Quinine from analine in his home lab in Cable Street DEVELOPMENT OF THE DYE INDUSTRY • Perkin patented Mauveine • With support of his father and brother, Perkin set up a small factory to manufacture analine purple in Greenford, west London, in 1857 • This expanded as new synthetic dyes were invented • In Germany other companies developed

  • Boosting the Activity of Prussian-Blue Analogue As Efficient Electrocatalyst
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Boosting the activity of Prussian- blue analogue as efcient electrocatalyst for water and urea oxidation Yongqiang Feng 1*, Xiao Wang1, Peipei Dong1, Jie Li2, Li Feng1, Jianfeng Huang1*, Liyun Cao1, Liangliang Feng1, Koji Kajiyoshi3 & Chunru Wang 2* The design and fabrication of intricate hollow architectures as cost-efective and dual-function electrocatalyst for water and urea electrolysis is of vital importance to the energy and environment issues. Herein, a facile solvothermal strategy for construction of Prussian-blue analogue (PBA) hollow cages with an open framework was developed. The as-obtained CoFe and NiFe hollow cages (CFHC and NFHC) can be directly utilized as electrocatalysts towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) with superior catalytic performance (lower electrolysis potential, faster reaction kinetics and long-term durability) compared to their parent solid precursors (CFC and NFC) and even the commercial noble metal-based catalyst. Impressively, to drive a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline solution, the CFHC catalyst required an overpotential of merely 330 mV, 21.99% lower than that of the solid CFC precursor (423 mV) at the same condition. Meanwhile, the NFHC catalyst could deliver a current density as high as 100 mA cm−2 for the urea oxidation electrolysis at a potential of only 1.40 V, 24.32% lower than that of the solid NFC precursor (1.85 V). This work provides a new platform to construct intricate hollow structures as promising nano-materials for the application in energy conversion and storage. Hydrogen energy has been considered as one of the most promising alternatives to traditional fossil fuels such as coal and oil which have inevitably involved in the tough environmental and unsustainable energetic issues1,2.

  • Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical
    Article pubs.acs.org/IC Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical Pigments Pablo García-Fernandez,́ * Miguel Moreno, and JoséAntonio Aramburu Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y Física de la Materia Condensada, Universidad de Cantabria, Avenida de los Castros s/n, 39005 Santander, Spain *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The study of chemical factors that influence pigment coloring is a field of fundamental interest that is still dominated by many uncertainties. In this Article, we investigate, by means of ab initio calculations, the origin of the unusual bright blue color displayed by historical Egyptian Blue (CaCuSi4O10) and Han Blue (BaCuSi4O10) pigments that is surprisingly not found in other 6− compounds like BaCuSi2O6 or CaCuO2 containing the same CuO4 chromophore. We show that the differences in hue between these systems are controlled by a large red-shift (up to 7100 cm−1) fi 6− produced by an electrostatic eld created by a lattice over the CuO4 chromophore from the energy of the 3z2-r2 → x2-y2 transition, a nonlocal phenomenon widely ignored in the realm of transition metal chemistry and strongly dependent upon the crystal structure. Along 4− this line, we demonstrate that, although SiO4 units are not involved in the chromophore itself, the introduction of sand to create CaCuSi4O10 plays a key role in obtaining the characteristic hue of the Egyptian Blue pigment. The results presented here demonstrate the opportunity for tuning the properties of a given chromophore by modifying the structure of the insulating lattice where it is located. ■ INTRODUCTION even then they remained rare.
