Abstract
Paper today still remains the most important information bearer despite the computer age and electronic mail. Striking presentations invariably use colour as the most effective means of attracting our attention. Paper dates back to ancient times (e.g. Egyptian papyrus) and its colouring began as long ago as the Middle Ages when inorganic pigments such as Prussian Blue and Ultramarine Blue were used. When synthetic dyes made an appearance after the discovery of Perkin’s Mauve in 1856 [1], the versatility of dyes rapidly became realised.
