In this video, I will show you Top 5 terrified and Forbidden Colors 1. Mummy brown- In the 16th century, a new shade of brown paint started appearing in European art called “Mummy Brown”. this paint was actually made of real crushed ancient Egyptians. In the 19th, “Egyptomania” spread across Europe and the United States, as people used mummies as décor, medicine, paper, and even party games at mummy unrolling events. all of its variations included actual mummy. In 1964, the creator of mummy brown paint reported that they had run out of mummies. 2. Vantablack- This is one of the darkest colors known to mankind. Developed by British company Surrey Nano Systems in the early 2000s, it can absorb 99.9 65% of visible light. known as “dark chameleon dimers” knocked it out of the top spot in 2015. It can be used to keep light out of telescopes and infrared cameras and potentially collect solar energy. It may also have military applications, such as intense camouflage. 3. Royal purple hues have been associated with nobility for centuries and the connection lingers to this day. During the Roman Empire, any non-noble who dared to try to wear purple could be executed. Queen Elizabeth I forbid anyone but her family from wearing it as part of the Sumptuary Laws that governed what each social class could wear. his process required up to 250,000 snails for one ounce of dye, which made it prohibitively expensive for almost everyone, and the snails were only native to the Mediterranean. 4. Vermillion is also known by the names cinnabar and China red, but you definitely don’t want to be mixing up any of it at home. Vermillion gets its red-orange hue from mercury, and the smaller the mercury particles are, the brighter red vermillion is. It has been used for close to 8,000 years, since Ancient Romans retrieved it from Spain and used it in cosmetics and art. It was also used to illuminate medieval manuscripts. Prisoners and slaves were given the dangerous job of mining cinnabar in the Spanish mines of Almaden, and it was then heated and crushed to form pigment. It was also used in Renaissance painting and of course in China where it got its alternate name. 5. Uranium orange- it's a bold orange-red color called “Fiesta Red”, these dishes started appearing in homes across America. The bright color came from uranium oxide, which is radioactive. From 1943 to 1959, the production of these orange dishes paused, as uranium was banned from civilian use to save it for the war effort. When they started production again, a different form of uranium was used, called depleted uranium, which is slightly less radioactive than the natural form.
