Throughout the centuries minerals have played an important role in painting, as they have been used as pigments to provide color. Some of these minerals have been Azurite (blue color), Malachite (green color), Realgar (red color), Orpiment (yellow color), Cinnabar (red color) or Limonite (ochre color).
The search for new tones or their high cost, due to their location or extraction difficulties, opened the way to artificial pigments.
