In 1856, a young British chemist named William Henry Perkin was trying to make a synthetic quinine. His experiments produced instead an unexpected residue, which turned out to be the first synthetic aniline dye , a deep purple [ 7 ] color called mauveine , or abbreviated simply to mauve (the dye being named after the lighter color of the mallow ...
