Original Recipe Text
Used as a main colour material for gray tonalities (p. 293). It can also be mixed with gold to reduce its metallic luster (p. 294).
Evidence
"the silver pigment and the colour combination of indigo + white lead is considered as the main colour materials for the gray colour tonality."
Remarks
Silver pigment in these manuscripts has frequently lost its metallic luster due to corrosion, causing it to appear as a dark gray tint rather than a metallic one (p. 293).
