My friend and I want to know all the names of colours. But it's hard. The same name is used for several colours and there are no good names for some other colours. The oldest pigments are from clay or rocks. The colours last for ever, they are as old as the Earth. Here's an ochre quarry in France. The colours are not fading. There's red ochre and yellow ochre. There's more water bound in the yellow colour and the red colour is anhydrous. Yellow can be turned to red by burning it. They all contain oxides of iron. There is no ochre quarry in Cornwall but there is still iron ore in past mine workings. There is a river near Redruth (River Conar) called the red river. In the past it was stained red. Ochre is removed from the water pumped out of mines, e.g. Wheal Jane. Artist Onya McCausland used this pigment on a wall.
