- Hey guys! Thank you for tuning in! I hope that you enjoy this video, and I’m sorry about the audio on the last bit! My audio file got corrupted for that bit, so I had to do some last minute emergency editing, lol. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, and PLEASE remember: don’t do this at home. It’s risky and dangerous, ESPECIALLY if you don’t have the proper materials.

the calling poison control because you thought you poisoned yourself but it just ended up being anxiety is SO REAL 😭😭
Better safe than sorry
They’re always nice when I call lol
@@user-qr5lk8ph4ghow often do you call them o_O
For me it was when i spilled liquified black widows on my hand. Long story.
@@JazzyFizzleDrummers o_O
My old painting teacher always said that if he ever found out he had a terminal illness that was incurable, he would eat a very specific blue paint, because it was so beautiful all he's ever wanted to do is put it in his mouth (i dont remember what it is, but it was discontinued sometime in the 80s or 90s and he bought up every tube he could so he could still use it). He always said we were invited to his paint tasting death day party. I haven't gotten an invite yet, so I assume he's still around and kickin' 😊
I’m wondering if it was original cobalt blue! It has arsenic in it. :)
@@bekahart it might be, but I remember it being a lighter, creamier blue. I'm thinking an manganese? But it could definitely have been a cobalt 😂
He’s gonna have a big disappointment when he learns it probably tastes terrible
@@charliemayfilms1550 he knows it will, but he'll die happy
Cobalt Violet has a form with arsenic in it. In fact I was surprised by the revelation that this vid was about an aniline dye (lake?) form.
I hope you don’t throw away the tin because it’s one of the most beautiful packages I’ve ever seen
Don’t worry! It’s staying in my collection for sure! 💜
right?? gorgeous. i know it was before safety labels and stuff but omg
I hope they don't throw away the tin because that's probably gonna be a hell of a pollutant
It should go to the museum of rare pigments if they don't already have it. They probably do, but still, I hope someone will preserve some of it for posterity
The packaging is very Art Nouveau. They probably loved this color
calling poison control only to find out it's anxiety is SO relatable. definitely got a laugh out of imagining the poor poison control person's face when you told them you may have come in contact with london purple, i'm sure they were at least somewhat confused. glad you're okay!
Whyyyyy do I want a beetlejuice painting with paris green and london purple? Whyyyyyyu
Maybe you can find replicas? Or somehow recreate the look of them? I get the point for the curiosity though.
Now that would be some deadly art
;)
Maybe when you get to the afterlife.
Green and purple is the best colour combination ever
why did poison bottles have such cool designs?? omg
Ikr they are so cool
I would kill for one!
(Badum tss)
the engineering urge to go even further beyond:
"hmm, there has to be an even deadlier color than that. wait right there, I'll go get my radiochemistry manual-"
Like radium compounds, huh
So I was right, its a very pretty purple. Its not in your face purple but its subtle and gorgeous.
Also at leat the poison scare was just anxiety, if it was actually the paint it would've ended pretty badly.
the anxiety is sooo real i was worried just watching you handle it with full protection 😭 thank u for all u do for the art history nerds out there
Dude if it was me I’d have full radioactive protection suit on
I am so happy your not poisoned. I love the history of paints and the ways we used to make colors. Even the names like Ivory Black (Ivory is not black) intrigued me into looking into paint origins :)
I’m wondering how you’d store these toxic pigments and also clean your tools after mixing, I don’t know too much about painting and I’m so curious
i don't think you could just wash them with water like you do gouache or watercolor (i don't use acrylic or other paints so i can't speak on them). like... it'd definitely do something to your sink. maybe you could wash them outside? i think a viable option for storage might be a garage or a closet? but i don't store poisons so i don't know! just some thoughts :]
@@PPBbunno Never wash hazardous waste down a drain! Many recycling centers are equipped to deal with disposal of it from local hospital, universities, research centers, businesses, etc. You can always look for a hazardous waste disposal centre near you! (Know this from working with lithium batteries and lead in high volumes, you shouldn't just throw those in the bin, dispose responsibly)
I work in WW please don't wash anything toxic down the drain.
In a WWTP, the bacteria we use are so sensitive to change.
You will kill the whole system 😭😭and you will not be able to flush your toilets or take showers
@@PPBbunno'i dont store poisons' then SHHH
I assume there is a separate set of paintbrushes for it.
Thank you for sharing! What a lovely color. I feel privileged to be able to see it in paint form, seeing as it’s not well documented.
I find this series absolutely delightful. But! Please only interact with these toxin pigments if you feel capable of doing so safely. I’d much rather you stay happy and healthy than to have another toxic paint video ❤️
At least it does seem like a color that would be fairly easy to replicate by mixing other colors, and without the, you know, dying.
It was probably a really novel and harder to achieve color at the time though. Probably why mauve and colors like this became meteorically popular back then
If I was a painter I would be too tempted to use this if I had it. I’m too dumb and it’s too gorgeous
Gotta say, that is a drop-dead gorgeous lilac gray. And LOVE the container. Definitely worth a touch of anxiety.
Is there ways to synthetically make it without the arsenic? It somehow seems that the toughest poison out there makes the prettiest colours
I’m working on figuring out a nontoxic substitute for you guys!
@@bekahart omg thank you so much! I'm just super curious is it because it's poisonous that it brings out the prettiest colours or is it because it looks nice 🤣🤣🤣
@@bekahartmaking color sample cards of all these toxic colors for sale (obviously replicating them with non-toxic pigments) would be great. I can think of a variety of users besides artists: authors, describing the color of a dress or wallpaper, historical recreationists commissioning custom dyed fabrics, creating moody, evocative wallpapers and textiles on spoonflower, etc.
@@christajennings3828 I ADORE this idea!
@@bekahart As a designer/printer I would love to use it in William Morris-style wallpapers.
I've gotten anxiety from eating 3 day old leftovers, so the calling poison control is so relatable 😂
Love that balancing act between being completely fascinated and absolutely terrified by something. VERY relatable.
Also can we just take a second to marvel at how GORGEOUS the container is?!
That is a lovely hue! 💕
So now I am supposed to order these to make a painting of the Joker and BeetleJuice in a Brawl with Spawn and Rogue ;')
please cover your hair also when working with these pigments!!
This is such a beautiful color!! I love to paint desaturated in digital, these are the kinds of colors i couldn't live without (digitally) in real life!! So amazing
Adding titanium instead of lead white killed the point in my view, but I understand that the author may have not been equipped with all the articles neccessary for the magic to really show.
What a gorgeous pigment! Thank you for sharing a piece of history with us 💜 I'm curious how you decontaminate the equiptment you use with toxic pigments and safely take off protective gear, considering all the dust.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been kind of obsessed with the science of colour for the last 50 years and I had never heard of London Purple before. I know Pantone have shot themselves in the head recently but could you give us the Pantone numbers that closest match the shades you made in the video? I could get them from the video but I'm not sure how accurate the colour will be after uploading to youtube.
I didn't know about your channel before just now but I've liked, subscribed and am looking forward to a wonderful evening catching up on your previous videos.
Thanks again.
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS
That is a beautiful shade of, thank you for sharing.
Such a pretty colour but I'm glad acrylics exist now cause you can make that colour exactly without the dying
Is there a modern color this reminds you of? I think it's such a pretty purple but uh, london purple watercolor sounds like a HORRIBLE idea.
Cool poisonous stuff🥰🙌🏻☢️
I just found your channel today and I’ve been binge watching
That final comment on the poison control. I was at work a few weeks back and there was a HAZMAT spill that got on an employee. Me being trained in responding to the spills and contact, went to into action and did what I had to do. I thought I got it on a part of my hand, turns out it was just my brain going full psychosomatic and making my body think I got exposed. I went into precautionary mode and followed the protocols in the handbook like I did with the employee, but that psychosomatic power is strong.
WoW, the packaging was so beautiful, and so dangerous! (nervous laughter ensues). Thanks for sharing!
The packaging is very Art Nouveau. Lovely
This is one of my favorite things. I don't remember the name, but there is a color, paint, & dye museum that I'm sure would absolurely love a sample if you had any to spare! (If they don't already have it)
I'd suggest doing some research and reaching out to them!
Well, your London Purple just got you a new sub. Thank you for sharing🤙🏽
I repair guitars for a living, and a lot of less expensive instruments from the late 1800's and early 1900's used an arsenic based dye to "ebonize" fruit woods for their fingerboards. Anything involving sanding of them will make you feel pretty ill, and at this point I just refuse to do anything but replace them. The arsenic also would react with the metal screws in some fingerboards and cause the wood to loose all structure - you look at them cross eyed, and they fall apart.
The tin looks rad! It might look super nice if you cast a in a solid epoxy cube.
The end gave me anxiety 😵💫🫥☠️ glad you're fine
I love the container art. The color is pleasant, too.
All it took for me to get diagnosed with anxiety was telling a shrink I considered worrying a hobby.
Take a deep breath, it will be okay.
And if not you’ll have plenty of company, so it’s not so bad. 💖
Purple mountain Majesty is one of my favorite colors. And you just made it with that purple
Arsenic was used in many colours of dye, not just green. I have an 1880s Massachusetts Health Department book that explains the dangerous past and present (1880s) use of arsenic in dyes, and includes many 2-inch × half-inch samples of arsenically dyed wallpapers and fabrics, in many colours. The most arsenical wallpaper sample is magenta. The most arsenical fabric sample is turkey-red, which would be used to make long underwear.
Wow! What is it called? I would love to look it up!!
in those times people were near immune to arsenic exposure because if you expose yourself to it in low amounts over a long time you grow immunity to it
Beautiful. Purple is my favorite color. I would risk my life to use that pigment. Imagine radium green and London purple being used on the same piece.
What a *BEAUTIFUL* Intense color ! like an eggplant. That Can's graphics are Gorgeous too !
I'm obsessed with this shade of purple, it immediately reminds me of the cocktail "arsenic and old lace" (disclaimer: does not contain arsenic, only absinthe and creme de Violette) and I feel like it would go so well with Paris green
This is like keeping venomous snakes as pets:
Art School Edition
So lovely and a really cool process, but we could definitely achieve this color through mixing. If not exact, close enough for the difference to be unnoticeable. Not trying to bash your video at all. I loved it! I just see so many people in the comments saying they’re tempted to try, but we don’t have to guys :) no need to risk poisoning yourself, just learn some color theory and toy around with it.
It’s so pretty!!!
It's quite sad, it looks like it would be amazing to use, unless you die before your painting is finished
This is like the exact color I want for my bedroom accent wall
God- it’s so pretty- WHY ARE THE PRETTIEST COLORS ALWAYS SO DEADLY-
Anxieties way of mimicking so many different medical problems is so insane. And it's definitely better to be safe than sorry! My biology teacher had a hole in his hand from ignoring a tingling feeling after spilling something on it. It was acid.
Also when I was a dumbass toddler I poisoned myself and had to have my stomach pumped. Don't remember it.
London Purple and Lead White..that should create beautiful tones
*”Don’t eat paint.”*
Seems like pretty good general life advice…😂❤
Can you make some long form art color history videos? I bet money you would go viral!
Thanks so much, I definitely will! I graduate from my university this April, so I haven’t had as much time as I would like, but I plan on doing that as soon as I graduate ☺️💜💜
Oh, but it's such a lovely color, capable of many hues. It's rather sad that it's so deadly, but maybe there's a less harmful copycat around?
Looking at it here (and of course the color may not be true to life on screens), I'd probably start by playing around mixing alizarin crimson, a little Payne's gray, ultramarine, and maybe a hint of an orange or burnt orange? I dunno, without actually trying to replicate it I can't say 100%, but that's what I see in it, and I'm kind of a natural at color mixing? 😅
I am working on making a video of how to color-match it with regular oil paints!! :) it is my goal eventually to be able to release a line of oil paints that are a bunch of nontoxic, exact tone replicas of these toxic paints!
Purple is my favorite color, and I have to say, this deadly purple is a very good purple. XD Thanks for seeing what it looks like on canvas so we don't have to and can't poison ourselves.
To really test it, try it with lead white
❤❤❤thanks for sharing
Thank you. I hope you stay safe. The colour is a bit muted. What are the best violet/magenta/purple oil colour pigments? I was hoping to get into art but my life is overtaxed already. Was planning on doing historic events. Hard to get good stuff where I am.
Best Wishes. Wow, a big channel.
Hey, better anxiety than death 😂👍
"Ooh what a pretty color! I wonder what it's made with?"
"Oh, arsenic."
the colour is so pretty tho 😩
If I had a nickel for every time the color purple was associated with death...
it's a beautiful purple!
The lightest shade is about what I was going for when I had my house painted.
Is there an arsenic pink? This is so fascinating! If it does exist and you’re able to find it, and if you’ll survive of course, will you do a video on arsenic pink?!
I bet if you mixed arsenic pink, a touch of cinnabar or vermillion ( mercury and lead) and lead white you would get pink. Or you might die.
@@codename495 I’ll remember that next time im having a manic episode 🤣🙏
Purple and green is my favorite color combination 💜💚
What's the cleanup process after you're done?
This color is so beautiful, sucks that it would kill me
Do you mix the powder in a fume hood or outside?
A Brush With Death-Ka
Thank for sharing , I love seeing paints and pigments , deadly and rare even more so 😅
I've seen cinnabar, Paris and Scheele's green and now this stunning London purple but I wonder if there are other colors?
Very nice ❤
Calls poison control to brag about my ancient poisonous discontinued for centuries purple paint
Note to self: I have toxic taste in colors.
I wonder how much of these toxic pigments I was exposed to in my paints back in the 50's and 60's. I remember the lead colors were common. I know I was breathing in a lot of cadmium when I used an airbrush in the 70's.
This was the color of my bedroom when i was a teenager. 😍
Back on my day, arsenic purple was just a condition everyone got at one point in life! Kids these days can't take anything
must try forbidden paint
Poisoned with anxiety 💅✨
Well since arsenic was used in embalming for many years, I guess after it kill the bugs, it also embalmed them?
The end❤❤❤ I would have been freaking the whole time too❤❤❤
Would display in like a sealed glass container lol
Just speed the video up to around 2:30 if you want to skip to the final product.
Thank you for ur service 🫡🫡🫡
Lovely color. Any chance of using it to dye a clothing item?
It is a lovely color but prolonged exposure can cause all sorts of problems eventually culminating in death.
Maybe it's my monitor, but the color looks a lot like a Payne's Grey.
Was watercolor paint ever poisonous or toxic?
Have you ever worked with cinnibar red?
Very nice 🌹
Who's to say in the future they will say that our present paint is poisonous? 😅😂
A blue arsenic colour existed too. I have nomore information, other wallpaper.
i felt sick just watching this
Why are my favorite shade of purple and green arsenic based?!
I thought arsenic was only toxic if orally ingested repeatedly over time or in very high doses that could not happen with casual contact?
any repeated exposure is dangerous- breathing the fumes can be just as toxic, especially with this paint coming in powder form, so the ventilation mask is super important! i think the gloves are a precaution to avoid contaminating the face and other surfaces/objects while working with it? it does also depend on the amount but it might be that the exact amount in this pigment wasn’t known… it’s just best to be extra safe when exposing yourself to carcinogens!
What is your opinion on Cadmium Red? Its another supposedly poisonous color.
How did you even obtain this to try out?? The heck?
do you use Pris green hair dye
