O my God...... Indeed it is very colorful, I believe the Dutch made the
green paint from it. They paint theyr wooden houses green in the old
days,
you can still see them in Holland, specially at the Zaanse Schans, a
industrial area with more than thousand windmills to power the machines
in
those days.

I've been their Wilem and its very interesting, however I never heard we
were making green paint out of that green stuff.
I want to know so I'll try to Google on it;-)

Yes you are right Bouler, I also found noting that indicate the green paint
is fabricated from KROOS.

Here a website explaining al those wonderful green colors found in Holland.
