Egyptian Malachite Pigment

Ancient Egyptian wadju — ground malachite — was a copper-carbonate green used as eye paint and on tomb-wall plaster, bound in fat and stroked along the lid like kohl. The real mineral is a muted, banded teal-green, not the electric synthetic dye that borrowed its name.

This system reads the pigment the way it was actually seen: a muted mineral green sitting on a deep green-black stone ground, framed by inscriptional serifs and fine gilt lines rather than floated on clean white.

古埃及的「wadju」是研磨孔雀石而成的铜碳酸盐绿色颜料，既作眼妆（如同 kohl 眼线般沿眼睑涂抹），也用于墓室墙面的灰泥绘饰，以油脂调和而成。真正的矿物呈现内敛的带状青绿色，而非借用其名的那种刺眼合成染料。

本设计系统还原了这种颜料被真实看见的方式：内敛的矿物绿沉落在深绿黑的石质底色之上，由碑铭般的衬线字体与纤细的鎏金线条框住，而非漂浮在洁净的白底之上。
