Color No. 7 Purple 1 - Los Guineos soil series (#Ox179) From Carite, Puerto Rico (see info No.12)
Color No. 8 - Blue - Blend indigo plant, 3D Clays and Cuchillas soil series
The blue color of this palette is the result of an alchemical process, mimicking ancient Mayan techniques in which the botanical pigment from the Indigofera sp. plant is bound to three-dimensional clays.
Color No. 9 - Coral - Los Guineos soil series (#Ox184c) From Carite, Puerto Rico (see info No.12)
Color No. 10 - Pink - Los Guineos soil series (#Ox742) From Carite, Puerto Rico (see info No.12)
Color No. 11 - Green - Parental Material (#MP7740) From San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico
The soft rock known as saprolite, from which this color is obtained, is harvested submerged under water, creating oxygen-free conditions that promote this color in the presence of certain minerals.
Color No. 12 - Red purple - Los Guineos (#Ox184) From Carite, Puerto Rico
Four pigments (Color No. 7,9,10 and 12) in the collection are derived from the Los Guineos soil series, Oxisol order. These soils are deep and formed from sandstone rock as the parent material. The harvested colors are the result of highly eroded profiles that have exposed the saprolite, which is weathered soft material. The diversity of tones is a product of reactions in the soil involving ferric minerals and manganese oxides
