Color of the day---Veronese Green

Originally called Emerald Green it was extremely toxic in its original form which contained Arsenic. It was used in early Wallpaper production and this caused many deaths! Dali called it the Venus of all colors and said it "possessed the secrets of everything that comes from the sea." I love the meat-brained critics who knock Dali down to the level of "dorm-art" they are not fit to shine his shoes (which were probably made of bread and therefore hard to shine anyways.)Back to V. green----It was much favored by the impessionistos and it is brighter and bluer than cadmium green.
