You'll be green with envy if you miss this podcast all about the colour green. Malachite was one of the earliest green pigments and a substantial source was the Great Orme in North Wales (the largest prehistoric mine in the world). Green is also the most dangerous of colours. Scheele's Green may even have killed Napoleon. The team also discuss the association of green with the devil and with Ireland. The use of colour in movies is also discussed and the use of green in The Wizard of Oz is of particular interest. And did you know that the Statue of Liberty was not always green? You do now. But listen to the podcast for the full story.
