Description
A nonstandardized term that was originally used for transparent yellow lake pigment formed from oak bark extract (quercitron) precipitated on alum or chalk. This quercitron based yellow lake pigment was used in the 17th century often in mixtures with blue to produce a dark green. It was not lightfast. More recently the name has also been given to synthetic organic colorants of similar color.
