[edit] Merging Chinese Blue into Han Purple

Obviously, there is no question that Chinese Blue should be merged into Han Purple since both articles are about the same pigment. I'm going to do it right now. Keraunos 04:53, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

If I could add a remark, I'm writing a ph D about these both pigments. It is totally wrong to say that chinese Blue = han purple...It is 2 differents compounds for various reasons: a) different composition: chinese blue is also known as effenbergerite with the well defined gillespite structure. b) the colour... chinese(or Han) purple absorbs in both blue and red... so that it is violet (called purple because it is not a violet...)

So please, check your own source before telling wrong things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.152.120 (talk) 17:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
