"qua contemplatione tot colorum tanta varietate subit antiquitatem mirari. quattuor coloribus solis immortalia illa opera fecere - ex albis melino, e silaciis attico, ex rubris sinopide pontica, ex nigris atramento -- Apelles, aetion, melanthius, nicomachus, clarissimi pictores, cum tabulae eorum singulae oppidorum venirent opibus."
(Naturalis Historia, liber 35, 23.)
"It was with four colours only, that Apelles, Echion, Melanthius, and Nicomachus, those most illustrous painters, executed their immortal works; melinum for the white, Attic sil for the yellow, Pontic sinopis for the red, and atramentum for the black; and yet a single picture of theirs has sold before now for the treasures of whole cities."
(The Natural History, Book 35, 32. What colours were used by the ancients in painting.)
