The conversion of iron vitriol to sulfuric acid leads to a dark brownish-violet pigment that was a great disappointment to its inventor. He gave it the name caput mortuum, which in Latin means “dead head,” or worthless remains. This morbid name is not a reference to the toxicity of the pigment, because it is entirely non-toxic. Good news followed in 1918, when the pigment used for Aubergine became popular. It provides architects with a restrained, noble color that forfeits nothing of its beauty regardless of the ambient lighting.

"Their colors are just unbelievably beautiful, whether the sun is shining, or it's rainy weather, or night, with every play of light they look different again. Incredible."
