Description

A green pigment prepared as a mixture of blue and yellow. Vergaut is most often described as a mixture of Indigo and Orpiment that was used as an alternative to Verdigris by medieval painters. Alternate combinations found in some texts include: orpiment with ultramarine blue (Cennino); orpiment with organic blue-most likely Woad (Brown 2003, about use in Lindisfarne Gospels)), indigo with orpiment or Yellow ocher (Merrifield 1849)
