A golden or yellow pigment or chemical compound, especially one that appears brilliant under certain light conditions.
From Greek 'chrysos' (gold) and 'phanein' (to show or appear). The name refers to substances that display a golden appearance or that make golden hues visible.
Golden pigments like chrysophan have been prized by artists for millennia—the golden leaf in medieval illuminated manuscripts wasn't always real gold, but these pigments created similar luminous effects!
