Monte Carlo Green (G7)

is a French-produced dye, made from a mixture of synthetically produced mineral and organic pigments. The color is deep and dark with a light withered green tone. The pigment is light, water and oil resistant, but is not stable in calcareous solutions, so these must be used the same day they are produced.
