While on the quest to find more information on pigments and their history i came across this site below. It has many different colors and how people "discovered" them. I put discovered in quotations because all they did was add a little water or something. I mean its all natural stuff, you can't make it yourself.
The paint color i found most interesting would have to be Indian Yellow. It was made from the pee of cows but these cows were only fed mango leaves and water. This made their pee really bright and it also made them die. So they had to stop making this color yet now they found a new way to make this color with gold.
