You can buy that exact shade today in many types of paints. It's still made of cobalt but doesn't have arsenic in it. Many brands stock it from watercolours to acrylics to oils. Cobalt is very common in many blue green and purple paints today, not hard to get if you want. Less toxic but still don't lick paintbrushes and wear a proper mask if airbrushing as there's still a lower level of toxicity.

@@sinfulloccultist950 If I'm not mistaken, I think that's a different thing - aren't poisonous animals' bright colours a warning signal for predators, so they know not to eat them; a system that has come to be throughout evolution, as it has been beneficial for both parties? Not an effect of the poison in and of itself 🤔
Tbh this channel is the place where I learned to develop the thinking, "not everything pretty is good" for example: Lily of the valley flower, it is very poisonous.
We still use cobalt violet minus the arsenic today in available in many types and brands of paints. Im a watercolour artist and use many cobalt colours as they are so beautiful, cobalt colours come in blues greens and purples. You just have to be sensible with them and don't lick your paintbrushes or drink your paint water, the only real danger was if you were to use them in an airbrush which you'd need a properly rated mask to prevent you breathing in particles.
It is primarily the arsenic that is so toxic here, though. Non-radioactive cobalt isn't something you should breathe or eat, but it doesn't require a hazmat suit.
@@MOVEDCHECKCOMMUNITYPOST it's almost duochrome as in I see a magenta flash with the way the light hits it then I see a deep purple as well in the small shadows.
Just like my ex- What am I saying? I am an aroace minor that is appaled by relationships and I hate my life and pls kill me, why do I say things like this
How does it compare to modern manganese violets? A side by side with some of the modern recreations would definitely drive home the vibrancy of some of these pigments! It would be very interesting to see what aspects of these colors we have lost to time and misremembering!
Arsenic comes in a huge array of colors, a lot of which can be mined and synthesized into many different colors! In addition, it seems like they sometimes used it as a sort of binder/color enhancer/preservative in some cases, though honestly, I need to do a lot more research on that!
I think you're thinking of Tyrian purple, which, although beautiful, isn't in the same category as these crazy neon colors that came about in the 1800s. The Victorians made many new color breakthroughs creating vibrant (although sometimes much more dangerous) variations of colors that were already available through more natural processes.
Wouldn't this be the first "modern" purple? At school we learned about Phonician Purple or "Murex Brandares" used in ancient times. (Maltese, and Malta is suspected to have been one of the Carthaginian factory/transportation sites for the dye)
Yes exactly! That’s why I said one of the first to be invented, not just used or harvested. Thanks for putting the clarification into words! Phoenician/Tyrian purple has been around since the 1600s, but it wasn’t nearly as bright or vibrant as the purples produced in the 1850s onward, like Perkin’s mauve, Cobalt violet, or Manganese violet, all of which are synthetic pigments. 👍🏻
I was also confused! Because my mom made a huge deal when I was little about how the Phoenicians gave us purple and the alphabet. She may have over simplified but I was not ready to learn she was wrong.😅
@@gwencramer9131 Bekahart clarified that she meant the first invented purple; The phonecians weren't the first people to make "a" purple, but all the other ways to get to purple that existed were very bad, faded quickly, voletile, damaged whatever you were dying etc etc. With their murex brandares purple they were the first to make a super vibrant and deep purple which myth says instead of getting faded with time, fabric dyed with it would instead get deeper. So it became an ultra comodoty reserved for the rich in the roman world, hence it being linked to royalty, the emporor and then with christianity, with easter time as a luxurious and special colour and time. Also the alphabet we use in english 100% went through the Phonicians, then the greeks then the etruscans and romans, but we can also trace it further back which is cool. (but we do creddit the phonecians with it commonly)
@@bekahart what are you talking about? 1600? The phonecians where around long before the romans. Like how can you be spreading so much disinformation.
That’s basically my favorite color. It’s so pretty. The perfect mix of red and blue but it’s so vibrant and lively. Like a violet flower in an early 90s pop music video.
i see people talking about mixing red and blue paint in the comments. you can't mix red and blue to get purple unless it's light waves. if you're doing pigment, you need cyan and magenta to make a proper 'blurple'. lean more magenta to get more purple and less blue. if you mix red and blue paint, they knock out the long and short waves of the other. if you mix cyan and magenta, you get the overlap of short waves and can adjust for long ones. that's why ink screeners print in cmyk. you can make practically all the colours with those three pigments, though it'll never be as true as a pigment that just IS that wavelength. fun way to make paintings that reveal new pictures at different times of day.
Wow! Thats such a rich, vibrant, deep color! I think this is the only old paint color I've ever seen thats so vibrant. Old paint is usually rich but not vibrant or deep but not very rich. I didnt know it was possible for them to make such a magnificent color back then
It is, if you get removed and fixed the old, yellowish or even darkened top coating varnish. Have you ever seen those restauered paintings out of the european middle ages from Memmling, Rubens, van Eyck etc. ? Or old egyptian colours as they got not yet rotten and dirty because of humans breath and lights? Also f.e. the antique greek and roman statues originally were painted in very vibrant colours. There are so many examples and even many many more!
Pretty, but I am personally a sucker for manganese violet (well, maybe not that exact shade, but lots of manganese compounds are very vivid)! Potassium permanganate has such a vibrant color, and is used in lots of different applications, from wastewater treatment to an accessible and affordable treatment for eczema in developing countries!
I love this. And i truly agree that only some purples can be mixed. I pride myself on color matching with oil paints and purple has always been a huge challenge for me. Thank you for this video! ❤
This is kinda why I’m happy to be a digital artist. As we’re able to rediscover these absolutely gorgeous pigments and colours from our pasts, we have ways to be able to use them again in modern works without the risk of arsenic poisoning. Still, even with digital painting, there is going to be minor inaccuracies due to the various colour gamut ranges of different monitors and devices. Which would be the same in any attempt to recreate it with non-toxic materials for traditional paints. I’d bet that purple looks better in person… truly stunning 💜
Tyrian purple is a pigment made from the mucus of several species of Murex snail. Production of Tyrian purple for use as a fabric dye began as early as 1200 BC by the Phoenicians, much earlier than the 1850’s.
For these super toxic dangerous paints, what do you do with them after you get them and use them? And what do you doing with the little strips you painted?
oh yeah, cadmium yellow, cobalt blue and purple, arsenic green, etc. I've always kind of obsessed over chemistry since my early teenage years, and i remember seeing stuff about paints
Can you do green? Its my number 1 fav color and back in the 1800's there was a type of green that contains arsenic too oh and the type of green is emerald green in the 1800's it was used in EVERYTHING including books dresses and more it was SOOO popular in the 1800's but it change to a more friendly mixture the green i was talking about is still here but not mixed with arsenic there is still a little books that are emerald green from the 1800's but if you touch the books that contains arsenic wash your hands and DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH EDIT: HELP I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT WAS SO LONG😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 EDIT 2: yes just like you do i like history and i know who was the bad guy in world war 2 its hit-
That shade happens to be one of my favorite. You can still find that shade in professional office supplies store. The pens are ink color marble with white. It blends very well with red shades and hot pink tones.
Funny this popped up in my feed. Beginner oil painter here and I just couldn't mix purple the other day. Blue and red turn mucky and desaturated. Going to have to get some direct purple from the art store.
Why the heck don't most painters learn that they are working in CMY rather than RGB color space? Pigments are all subtractive colors as you are dealing with reflected light.
Pro-tip: For beginner painters who want to make brighter purples with a limited/primary pallet, use the CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) pallet instead of the RBY (red, blue, yellow) pallet. If you are worried about not having a red enough red, or dark enough blue, use a red that's a cross between magenta and red, like quinacridone magenta, quinacridone red (bright red), or alizarin crimson (dark red) and ultramarine for your blue (make sure it's plain ultramarine and not ultramarine green/light shade which is too green, or deep/French which is too red and won't be a good primary blue you can mix greens with, though it will make nice purples). Also, instead of just a primary palette, think about a split primary pallet, where you use a cool and warm version of each of the three primaries, plus black and white. If alizarin crimson is part of your split primary, drop the black, and get pthalo green. You'll be able to mix more greens and chromatic black with your alizarin. From my experience, chromatic black looks SO much better than black from a tube in landscapes and portraits. It's more natural and alive and energetic. I dunno why I turned this into a whole Bob Ross tutorial, I just wanted to help beginners not be frustrated with trying to mix purple.
I would love to see you make true azure blue with azurite. I remember reading about it and how it was often slightly gritty but was the preferred blue for certain applications for a time.
I work in the foundry resins business for about 15 years and we used a product called cobalt blue. It was the most vibrant blue I've ever seen. And it was toxic of course. Along with everything else I breathed all those years
It’s a purple. Royal purple is dark red, as in the snail dyes the Roman Ceasers wore. Did you see Charles getting crowned? If you mean an intense blue violet, known as K&B purple in the South, that’s my favorite too. But it’s not Royal.
You should sell swatches of the colors with the name on the bottom ; the ingredients and chemical composition to the right and a swatch box in the center. With examples of white desaturation at 50% And 75%.
Okay this made me unreasonably happy because I only know this because of my special interest in historical fashion due to fabric dyes (I could be mistaken though since I do lots of research and could be misremembering) and I find it incredibly interesting as well since I love art history and love learning about the more odd facts (facts like this). So yeah.
All I know is that purple was a very difficult color to come by back in the day and that it was reserved for royalty further back than that - I learn so much on this channel!
What a fantastic vibrant orchid! I hope they can replicate this exact color with current compounds!!!

Cobalt-Violet even sounds gorgeous. 💙💜
Cobalt pigments are absolutely the best single pigment colors to use. When mixed with white or black the hue stays absolutely the same.
Cobalt itself is also a toxic heavy metal
Fun fact the reason why no country has purple in it is because it was expensive to produce so only royalties can use that color
Or the Catholic Church.
The cobalts are my favorite colors because they're all so stunning, especially the violet and turquoise
How does it compare to modern manganese violets? A side by side with some of the modern recreations would definitely drive home the vibrancy of some of these pigments! It would be very interesting to see what aspects of these colors we have lost to time and misremembering!
Is there something about Arsenic as an element that made it so popular in early dyes?
It seems like every 19th century dye had it in it.
Arsenic comes in a huge array of colors, a lot of which can be mined and synthesized into many different colors! In addition, it seems like they sometimes used it as a sort of binder/color enhancer/preservative in some cases, though honestly, I need to do a lot more research on that!
😂
@@bekahart I would be so interested to hear what you find out!
Arsenic remains one of my favourite components of paint! I mean, come on, look at its versatility!
I thought the first purple came from a certain snail species to symbolize royalty in the 1600s
I think this refers more to synthesized pigments rather than naturally derived dyes like the snail thing

Beautiful color, thanks for the history lesson. I'd be interested in this versus the ancient royal purple that was made using snails.

I LOVE this purple! Omg!
Pro-tip: For beginner painters who want to make brighter purples with a limited/primary pallet, use the CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) pallet instead of the RBY (red, blue, yellow) pallet. If you are worried about not having a red enough red, or dark enough blue, use a red that's a cross between magenta and red, like quinacridone magenta, quinacridone red (bright red), or alizarin crimson (dark red) and ultramarine for your blue (make sure it's plain ultramarine and not ultramarine green/light shade which is too green, or deep/French which is too red and won't be a good primary blue you can mix greens with, though it will make nice purples).

If you mean an intense blue violet, known as K&B purple in the South, that’s my favorite too. But it’s not Royal.
I would actually categorize it as something very close to a true magenta. Useless as a primary though because it’s a terribly low tinting color.
