Nice. Thanks for that! FWIW, There's quite a bit of evidence that in many cases, those surviving "red" panels in Pompeii and Hurculaneum homes were actually a yellow pigment. The really high-end homes had the finest artists using the best quality pigments which could be produced. those "reds" remained red during the eruption and Pyroclastic cloud(s) which followed. However, much of the middle-class work was done by less skilled workers, and because of the costs involved, they often used lower quality pigments. The "reds" were shown to have originally been yellow, and the combination of sulphur and high temperatures during the pyroclastic clouds reacted with the yellow pigment(s) to convert them to red.
