Paris green, also called Schweinfurt green, an extremely poisonous, bright green powder that was formerly used extensively as a pigment (e.g., in wallpaper) and that is sometimes used as an insecticide or to kill plant fungi; it must be used with great caution because of its poisonous nature. Chemically it is a copper acetoarsenite that may be prepared from arsenic trioxide and copper acetate. How to thank TFD for its existence?

California favorites, Eiseman predicts, will include sheer, well-washed pastels and neutrals (perfect for window coverings); a return-to-nature color story with lots of greens and also a cheerful color combo of sweet pea green and primrose yellow and cyclamen pink (think Easter egg colors) that should go well with the new take on French country that's coming into furniture stores. The soup cans still look fresh and Ruscha's canvas has the same sickly, pea green subversiveness (in the sky, over a pus-colored museum) it did when Ferns's announcement for it noted that the city fire marshal would be present at the opening. To spruce up the exterior of this flat and worn tan colored building and attract tenants, we are stripping the old facade and using such design elements as, new soft pea green stucco with dark green cornices, two new copper entrance canopies, decorative columns and dark green shutters with white trim," says Doug Horst, president, Horst Design International. |
