Kobicha

 

The color kobicha (媚茶) is one of the Japanese traditional colors that has

been in use since 660 CE in the form of various dyes used in designing kimono.

The name kobicha comes from the Japanese for the colour of a type of kelp

tea, but the word was often used as a synonym for a form of flattery in a

curious parallel with the English usage brown nosing.

. It was manufactured in 1814 to be a pigment to make a

vibrant green paint, and was used by many notable painters in the 19th

century. The color of Paris green is said to range from a pale blue green when

very finely ground, to a deeper green when coarsely ground. Due to the

presence of arsenic, the pigment is extremely toxic and in paintings, the color

can degrade quickly.
