russian_green colors

Literary analysis:

Literature and technical texts have long employed "Russian Green" as a precise color identifier, often detailing its formulation and various shades. In several examples, the term appears in catalogs and recipes that specify pigment mixtures and dye formulas—for instance, references [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], and [6] list it as a distinct hue, while passages [7], [8], [9], and [10] incorporate it into exact recipes that combine diverse ingredients to achieve darker or pale variants. This usage underscores the meticulous attention to color nuance in historical and technical writings, where "Russian Green" served not only as a poetic descriptor but also as an exacting standard for color reproduction.
