Lead white 鉛白(enpaku): A white pigment composed of basic lead carbonate. Lead white has been prepared synthetically from Classical antiquity by exposing metallic Lead to Vinegar (Acetic acid) vapour. Lead white and red lead can discolor and darken when exposed to Hydrogen sulfide.
Usually large white areas are unprinted paper but lead white has been found in fields of white. More frequently, it has been found mixed with other colorants, most likely to produce the desired effect of creating more opaqueness or lightening a color. Darkening of the lead white has been observed in printed white areas and mixtures. This helps in a preliminary identification of the presence of lead white. Unlike red lead, it appears that the darkening is not intentional.
