It is also known as sap green, although in contemporary art supplies the term sap green often indicates a mixture intending to resemble the traditional Sap Green or Stil de grain yellow. Traditional Sap Green is made both from ripe and unripe buckthorn berries, and prepared in different ways. Berry harvest time, varietal, preparation method and time period of use have a lot to do with the common name used to refer to that particular hue, color, recipe or chemical composition. The unripe buckthorn berries are also called Rhamni Immaturi. The color it produces is dark brown in its dense form, and turns to a bright yellow in a thin layer |
