Cobalt green, also sometimes known as
Rinman's green or
Zinc Green, is a translucent green
pigment made by mixing
cobalt(II) oxide and
zinc oxide and heating. It was invented by Swedish chemist
Sven Rinman in 1780. Although it is stable and can be safely mixed with other pigments, it is rarely used because it is a weak pigment for its cost.
Use in electronics
Cobalt yellow has been tested as a possible non-volatile
magnetic semiconductor with
spintronics applications.
