From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manganese violet is a vibrant purple, inorganic pigment generated through a chemical reaction. The commercially available compound is composed of ammonium, manganese, and pyrophosphate.[1] Manganese violet, naturally, is an impure pigment; therefore, oxide impurities cause variations in the pigment's color.[2] Consequently, there has been controversy about the pigment's hue as it has been reported to be both a true violet hue and not a violet hue. Among the artistic community, manganese violet became popular among certain artists.[3] For example, Claude Monet used manganese violet in his Rouen Cathedral series to further his exploration of shadows.[4] Beyond the artistic community, manganese violet has been used in cosmetics to color products like lipstick and eyeshadow.[5]
This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.
