Rosolic :: Rosolic (a.) Pertaining to, or designating, a complex red dyestuff (called rosolic acid) which is analogous to rosaniline and aurin. It is produced by oxidizing a mixture of phenol and cresol, as a dark red amorphous mass, C20H16O3, which forms weak salts with bases, and stable ones with acids. Called also methyl aurin, and, formerly, corallin..

Flavaniline :: Flavaniline (n.) A yellow, crystalline, organic dyestuff, C16H14N2, of artifical production. It is a strong base, and is a complex derivative of aniline and quinoline..

Thionine :: Thionine (n.) An artificial red or violet dyestuff consisting of a complex sulphur derivative of certain aromatic diamines, and obtained as a dark crystalline powder; -- called also phenylene violet..

Ferrocyanide :: Ferrocyanide (n.) One of a series of complex double cyanides of ferrous iron and some other base.

Lightness :: Lightness (n.) Absence of depth or of duskiness in color; as, the lightness of a tint; lightness of complexion..
