The Dark Secret Behind the World’s Brightest Color 🎨👁️

In the 1800s, European artists like Van Gogh and Vermeer were obsessed with a pigment called "Indian Yellow" (Peori). It was more vivid, luminous, and permanent than any other yellow on Earth. But the source of this "Golden Dust" was a secret buried in the heart of Munger, Bihar.

In this video, we step into the shoes of a 19th-century worker to uncover the bizarre and scientific reality of this forbidden color. Discover how a specific chemical reaction in cows fed exclusively on mango leaves created a pigment that changed art history—at a tragic cost.

What you will discover:

The Bihar Connection: Why the town of Munger was the world's only source of this pigment.

The Science of Peori: How Magnesium Euxanthate created a glow that modern chemistry struggles to replicate.

The Ethical Conflict: Why the British government officially banned the production of Indian Yellow in 1908.

Artistic Legacy: The reason your favorite "Masterpiece" paintings might be made of this controversial substance.

The history of art isn't just painted in oil; it’s painted in sacrifice.
