This jacket is also why I always find the pseudo-white-jacket Starfleet dress uniforms that started appearing late in DS9 so absurdly and delightfully humorous, particularly because the character we see wearing the style most is Julian Bashir.

these colors no longer exist. technically.
i wish the small text was legible ):
here, have a transcription!
(1) Ivory Black
Antiquity-Modern Times
This deep blue-black was made from the burned and charred waste of ivory. It fell out of use as ivory did.
(2) Caput Mortuum
1700’s-1800’s
A tarry brown pigment made up of ground-up Egyptian mummies, “caput mortuum” means “worthless remains.” (I cringed transcribing this.)
(3) Vermillion
Antiquity-Modern Times
The color of mercuric sulfide cinnabar, vermillion was beautiful but rare, unstable, and toxic.
(4) Red Dye #3

The US Government banned this red food and cosmetics dye in 1990 for being carcinogenic.
(5) Realgar
Antiquity-Modern Times
Realgar is a highly toxic arsenic sulfide that was once the only pure orange pigment available.
(6) Indian Yellow
1400’s-1800’s
Supposedly made from the urine of cows only fed mango leaves, this color would have become rare due to its poor effects on cattle.
(7) Lead White
Antiquity-Renaissance
White paint that got its color from lead was a great pigment, but deadly.
(8) Verdigris
Antiquity-1800’s
A moderately transparent bluish green with low stability, verdigris is a copper acetate, and quite toxic.
(9) Chartres Blue
1300’s
This blue, used to color stained glass in France’s Chartres Cathedral, proved incredibly difficult to make.
(10) Smalt
1400’s-1700’s

“Falsetto, Jeeves?”
“If I am to sound like a chorus of young ladies, sir.”
