Chapter 16 : Emerald

Hey everyone . I've not been posting anything due to my modem being hit by the huuuuuge thunder storm that Shah Alam recently went through . Either way , guess what THE NEW BLACK is . EMERALD . It's a really pretty color . This color is making it's way onto the streets and into your wardrobes . Here's a little info about this pretty color . LETS GET EDUCATED : 


Scientifically speaking, color is divided into three components: huesaturation and tone. Emeralds occur in hues ranging from yellow-green to blue-green, with the primary hue necessarily being green. Yellow and blue are the normal secondary hues found in emeralds. Only gems that are medium to dark in tone are considered emerald; light-toned gems are known instead by the species name green beryl. The finest emerald are approximately 75% tone on a scale where 0% tone would be colorless and 100% would be opaque black.[6] In addition, a fine stone should be well saturated, the hue of an emerald should be bright (vivid). Gray is the normal saturation modifier or mask found in emerald; a grayish-green hue is a dull green hue.[7]
Emeralds are green by definition (the name is derived from the Greek word 'smaragdus', meaning green).[8] Emeralds are the green variety of beryl, a mineral which comes in many other colors that are sometimes also used as gems, such as blue aquamarine, yellowheliodor, pink morganite and colorless goshenite.[9]
