Calce per il bianco, la Malachite o il Verderame per il verde, il Lapislazzuli<br />
per il blu, la Cocciniglia, la Terra rossa ecc. per il rosso ecc.), a parte<br />
il Rosa cartamo, estratto dal Carthamus Tinctorius , il Rosa <strong>di</strong> Tiro<br />
(Porpora <strong>di</strong> Tiro), l’Ocra rosa o la Terra rosa e pochi altri, per il Rosa<br />
bisogna aspettare l’era moderna, con i colori organici derivati dal<br />
catrame (Rosa Algol, Rosa Alizarina, Rosa Bengala, Rosa brillante,<br />
Rosa d’anilina, Rosa fucsina ecc.). Al solito, il fattore moltiplicatore dei<br />
colori rosa è dato dalle sue declinazioni (Rosa chiaro, Rosa brillante,<br />
Rosa cupo ecc.), dalle sue associazioni con altri nomi <strong>di</strong> colori (Bianco<br />
roseo, Rosa arancio, Rosa blu, Giallo rosato, Grigio rosato ecc.) o dalla<br />
combinazione dei due (Grigio rosato chiaro ecc.). Partito come un<br />
colore relativamente poco menzionato, nei <strong>di</strong>zionari dei colori, classici,<br />
grazie alle sue declinazioni e all’apertura ai nomi <strong>di</strong> fantasia, il rosa si<br />
moltiplica come tutti gli altri colori, rendendo attuale l’osservazione <strong>del</strong><br />
grande specialista dei colori J.G.Vibert nel suo trattato La science de la<br />
peinture <strong>del</strong> 1902: On est encore loin d’avoir épuisé tous le noms des<br />
pierres précieuses, des fleurs, des villes, d’oiseaux, dont se compose<br />
le vocabulaire des marchands de couleurs . Nel “<strong>di</strong>zionario” allegato,<br />
mostreremo una campionatura <strong>del</strong>le principali tipologie <strong>di</strong> colori Rosa<br />
sopra menzionate.<br />
Pink rosa (Rose pink)<br />
Philip Ball, nel suo brillante saggio <strong>Colore</strong>.Una biografia, riferisce che<br />
il Pink rosa era ricavato dal legno <strong>di</strong> brasile e che il “pink” dopo il XIX<br />
Secolo <strong>di</strong>venta gradualmente sinonimo <strong>di</strong> rosso chiaro e dunque <strong>di</strong> “pink<br />
rosa”, mentre fino ad allora pink era un pigmento dalle provenienze, dai<br />
meto<strong>di</strong> <strong>di</strong> sintesi e dalle ricette <strong>di</strong>verse, per cui esistevano anche pink<br />
ver<strong>di</strong> e pink marroni, oltre che pink rosa. Nei <strong>di</strong>zionari dei colori, il pink<br />
rosa oscilla tra il Rosa forte, il Rosa me<strong>di</strong>o, il Rosa purpureo chiaro e il<br />
rosso purpureo vivo, passando attraverso l’Arancio rossastro intenso.<br />

Denominazioni ISCC.NBS: 249 – Rosa purpureo chiaro (light purplish<br />
Pink).<br />
Rosa (Pink, Rose)<br />
Il nome <strong>di</strong> questo colore si riferisce al fiore omonimo e comprende le<br />
varianti chiare <strong>del</strong> rosso-bluastro e <strong>del</strong> porpora. In inglese, “Rosa” viene<br />
definito sia come Rose che come Pink, che deriva dalla denominazione<br />
inglese <strong>di</strong> garofano. Notazioni: Munsell: 2.8R 7.2/5.3; NCS: S 1030-R.<br />
Denominazione ISCC.NBS: 5 – Rosa me<strong>di</strong>o (moderate Pink).<br />
Rosa antico (Old rose, Antique rose, Old pink)<br />
Sinonimo <strong>di</strong> Rosa vecchio, Rosa sbia<strong>di</strong>to, <strong>Colore</strong> <strong>di</strong> rosa secca, Rosa<br />
appassita, Foglia <strong>di</strong> rosa vecchia, Foglia morta rosa ecc. Il termine,<br />
molto in voga nell’800, è attualmente in <strong>di</strong>suso.<br />

Denominazione ISCC.NBS: 19 – Rosa me<strong>di</strong>o (grayish Red).<br />
Rosa Bengala (Bengale rose).<br />
<strong>Colore</strong> organico derivato dal catrame <strong>di</strong> carbone, scoperto e prodotto,<br />
secondo il Ball, tra il 1870 e il 1880 . E’ il colore più bluastro <strong>di</strong> tutta<br />
la serie <strong>di</strong> tutta la serie <strong>del</strong>le eosine e dà il colore più brillante. Il<br />
Répertoire des couleurs lo considera sinonimo <strong>del</strong> colore Rosa La<br />
Francia, riproduzione <strong>del</strong> Roseus <strong>del</strong> Professor Saccardo, attribuendogli<br />
lazuli for blue, Cochineal, Red Earth for red etc.), a part from Safflower<br />
Rose, extracted from Carthamus Tinctorius , Tyrian Pink (Tyrian<br />
Purple), Ochre Rose or Earth Rose and few others, we have to wait the<br />
modern era for pink, with the organic colourings derived from coal tar<br />
(Algol Rose, Alizarin Rose, Bengalese Rose, Brilliant Rose, Aniline Rose,<br />
Fuchsine Rose etc.). As usual, the multiplying factor of pink colours<br />
depends on their variations (Light Pink, Brilliant Pink, Dark Pink etc.),<br />
their associations with other colour names (Rosy White, Orange Pink,<br />
Blue Rose, Rosy Yellow, Rosy Grey etc.) or the combination of these two<br />
factors (Light Rosy Grey etc.). Started as a relatively poorly cited colour,<br />
at least in classical <strong>di</strong>ctionaries of colours, thanks to its variations and<br />
the opened way to fantasy names, pink multiplies as all other colours<br />
do, bringing up to date the sentence of great colour specialist J.G.Vibert<br />
in his treaty La science de la peinture of 1902: On est encore loin<br />
d’avoir épuisé tous le noms des pierres précieuses, des fleurs, des<br />
villes, d’oiseaux, dont se compose le vocabulaire des marchands de<br />
couleurs . In the attached “<strong>di</strong>ctionary”, we show a range of samples of<br />
the main types of pink colour mentioned above.<br />
Rose Pink<br />
Philip Ball, in his brilliant essay Colour. A biography, says that Rose Pink<br />
was obtained from Brazilian wood and that “pink”, after the Nineteenth<br />
Century, becomes gradually synonym of light red and therefore of “ pink<br />
rose”, while until then pink was a pigment of <strong>di</strong>fferent origins, synthesis<br />
methods and formulas, and for that reason there were also green pink<br />
and brown pink , other than rose pink. In <strong>di</strong>ctionaries of colours, rose<br />
pink ranges from Strong Pink, Moderate Pink to Light Purple Rose and<br />
Bright Purple Red, passing trough Strong Red<strong>di</strong>sh Orange.<br />
