Six colors named after place names

according to German Wikipedia, of the many colors in the world, only a few are named after regions or cities. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of things to say. Bordeaux Red and Chinese Red are all familiar colors.

the six colors named after place names mentioned in German Wikipedia are listed here. I found it interesting, so I wrote it down as a diary. It should be explained that now some people like to add a place name in front of the color according to their own preference or association, which has not been officially recognized by the international academic community. The names of the following six colors are certified "official names". Because it is only listed, not all the colors named after place names are introduced here.

I. Berlin blue (Berliner Blau)

also known as Prussian blue, iron blue

there was a German named Disbach in the 18th century. He was a worker who made and used paints, so he was interested in all kinds of colored substances. Always want to use cheap raw materials to produce paint with good performance. Desbach's boss, a mercenary businessman, felt that this was a good opportunity to make money, so he kept the production method of the paint strictly secret and gave the paint an elusive name-Prussian blue. In order to sell the paint at a high price. Because Desbach is from Berlin, this blue is also known as "Berlin blue".

the uniform color of the Prussian army, the predecessor of Germany, was used so that the Prussian blue uniform was still used for quite a long time after the establishment of the second German Reich in 1871 and changed to earthen gray on the eve of the first World War. Berlin blue was used not only in the army, but also in the Prussian court, and was later introduced to Paris. In German writer Theodor von Tana's famous novel Lady Yannette Leibel (Frau Jenny Treibel), the Trebel family owns a number of large factories specializing in the development of Berlin blue paint. The prototype of the Trebel family is Kunheim, a famous family chemical company in Berlin. Fontana's sister, Yanni Somerfield, has close ties with the family.

Brunswick green is a dark dark green. In 1767, the Graven Holst brothers in Brunswick, Germany, extracted this color in large quantities for the first time and promoted it. Because of the practicality of color and the high quality of paint, this color was popular in many European countries in the 18th and 19th centuries and was the basis for the extraction of a variety of greens, such as British Racing Green (British Racing Green, English is not good, do not laugh) and Cologne Green (also known as "Adenauer Green") is one of the main colors used in four of the eight Rhine bridges in Cologne. A color developed and used in 1929 by Conrad Adenauer, mayor of Cologne and later federal prime minister.

Bremen blue is a transitional color between blue and green, and it is closest to sea blue on the color card table. In 1778, Nicholas Culunkamp, a businessman and dye worker in Bremen, Germany, developed this color for the first time. As soon as it was launched, it was very popular, and it was imitated and produced by many factories one after another. By 1807, the city had four factories specializing in the production of plum blue, and the color had spread to other cities in Germany and even abroad. The pigment was particularly popular in Europe in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

VI. Sch ö nbrunner Gelb)

also known as: Habsburg Yellow, Baroque Yellow, Maria Theresia Yellow

the Shimbrun here refers to the famous Schenbrunn Palace in Vienna, also known as the "Beautiful Springs Palace". The reason why this yellow, which is lighter than khaki, is called "Schenbrunn Yellow" or "Habsburg Yellow" is obvious: it is the color used on the exterior walls of the beautiful Habsburg palace. This delicate color with royal atmosphere and pink color, also known as baroque yellow, was favored by many court architects in the Baroque period and was very popular in many parts of Bavaria, Bohemia, Hungary and Slovenia.

in the 1770s, Habsburg Emperor Joseph II ordered all buildings in Austria and Hungary to be painted this special yellow, especially the facade of royal buildings. Shinbrunhuang has since become one of the aesthetic symbols of the Schenbrunn Palace and the Habsburg dynasty.
