Since the 1920s Italian race cars of Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia, and later Ferrari and Abarth have been painted in rosso corsa ("racing red").

Rich black, in printing, is an ink mixture of solid black over one or more of the other CMYK colors, resulting in a darker tone than black ink alone generates in a printing process. Rich black is often regarded as a color that is "blacker than black". While this is impossible from the point of view of color theory, the difference can often be seen in the printed piece. The difference is most apparent in backlit (also known as "translite") pieces, where rich black more thoroughly blocks the light from coming through.

In a poem titled To the Pine Trees, Schoolcraft reflects on her arrival back to North America after spending years in England she writes "Not all the trees of England bright, / Not Erin's lawns of green and light / are half so sweet to memory's eye, / As this dear type of northern sky."

Měděnka je modrozelená patina, která se vytváří korodováním povrchu měděných a bronzových předmětů vystavených vlivu počasí. Její význam je ochranný (zamezuje další korozi) a dekorativní.Povrch nových měděných předmětů červenavé barvy již po několika týdnech získává hnědý odstín, který dále tmavne až černá. Teprve po přibližně deseti až dvaceti letech se vytváří zelenavá měděnka. Rychlost tvorby a kvalita měděnky závisí na vnějších vlivech jako je kvalita ovzduší a umístění předmětu.Z chemického hlediska se jedná především o brochantit (CuSO4·3Cu(OH)2) na místech přímo exponovaných padajícím srážkám a antlerit (CuSO4·2Cu(OH)2) na krytých místech vystavených jen působení vzdušné vlhkosti. Často se vyskytuje směs obou a další látky v závislosti na konkrétních podmínkách, např. v přímořských oblastech se působením slaného vzduchu tvoří atakamit. Negativní vlivy má vedle např. holubího trusu zejména znečištěné ovzduší, které způsobuje příměsi měděnky (např. chalkantit nebo vyšší koncentrace křemenu), které znehodnocují ochrannou nebo barevně estetickou funkci měděnky.Měděnka se používala jako pigment k barvení, např. fresek nebo i zavařovaných potravin. Anglické verdigris z fr. vert-de-gris (z původního vert de Grèce, řecká zeleň) jsou názvy jednoho z odstínů tyrkysové.

Arménský bolus je považován za nejkvalitnější hlinku užívanou v knižní malbě.Ve starověku byl užíván k výrobě keramiky (s bolusem označována jako Böttgerova kamenina). Ložiska bolusu se nacházejí v Německu, Itálii, Arménii a na ostrovech Lemnu (Terra Lemia) a Samos (Terra Samia).Bílý bolus (bolus alba, porcelánová hlinka, kaolin) je užíván v keramice nebo se z něj připravuje klihová barva k podmalbě obrazů a polychromovaných soch. Odstín určuje obsah hořčíku. Jeho ložiska jsou v Norsku, v Čechách a na Moravě.
