What is the meaning of the color Malachite?
Named after the banded green mineral malachite, which was ground into pigment and used in ancient Egyptian paintings as early as 3000 BCE. The mineral was mined extensively in the Sinai Peninsula and later in the Ural Mountains of Russia, where it was used to decorate the malachite room in the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, completed in 1837. In the 20th century, the color entered the design world through fashion and interiors, and Malachite appears as a named shade in the Pantone Fashion, Home and Interiors system, anchoring its place as a recognized commercial standard.
