The fourth volume in the series covers pigments used since prehistoric times, the iron earth colorants, pigments based on carbon, and asphalt. In addition, a nineteenth-century discovery, cobalt blue, is discussed, and—a first in the series—a group of pigments developed in the twentieth century, the arylide yellows, is described.
