The Chemistry of Color | Artrageous with Nate

Ever wonder what is inside your paint? Did you know that rocks, crushed insects, and even elephant dung were used to create early pigments?

If you want to know more about the colors and pigments that surround us every day, and about color theory, check out the Chemistry of Color exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art with me!

Who else was looking at something colorful and was like how is color made and go on YouTube and look up how color is made thanks alot! I have a school project on how color is made thanks alot again!

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing this! I will definitely use this video in one of my classes.
By the way, I taught a chemistry lab a few years ago in which the students synthesized the indigo blue dye, which is not water soluble. Then, they "modified" the indigo molecule to make indigo carmine, which is soluble in water, and then were able to "dye" a piece of cloth.

Greg, this is wonderful! Thanks for showing us color though through time and how artists are seeking more nuanced hues and new materials. I'd love to see to show!
