Cobalt green sometimes known as Rinman’s green or Zinc Green is a translucent green pigment made by heating a mixture of cobalt (II) oxide and zinc oxide. Sven Rinman a Swedish chemist discovered this compound in 1780. Although it is stable and can be safely mixed with other pigments it is rarely used because it is a weak pigment for its cost. Cobalt Green has recently been tested in the US to be used in “spintronic” devices.
