Arsenic

Arsenic is an alluring hue with a sordid past – the wildly popular green discovered in 1775 by a Swedish chemist was produced using actual arsenic during Victorian times until doctors began to connect the dots between ornate green wallpaper and mysterious illnesses. Nowadays – with safe, sustainable dyes – the poisonous name only adds to its charm, the sweet springtime shade gaining a bit of edge with its sinister history.
