Monte Carlo Green

Monte Carlo Green (G7)

is a French-produced dye, made from a mixture of synthetically produced mineral and organic pigments. The color is deep and dark with a light withered green tone. The pigment is light, water and oil resistant, but is not stable in calcareous solutions, so these must be used the same day they are produced. The pigment is quite fine-grained and can advantageously be processed in mortars or the like in the preferred medium.
