(a) The essential coloring material of commercial indigo, from which it is obtained as a dark blue earthy powder, with a reddish luster, {C16H10N2O2}, which may be crystallized by sublimation. Indigo blue is also made from artificial amido cinnamic acid, and from artificial isatine; and these methods are of great commercial importance. Called also {indigotin}. (b) A dark, dull blue color like the indigo of commerce. {Indigo brown} (Chem.), a brown resinous substance found in crude indigo. {Indigo copper} (Min.), covellite. {Indigo green}, a green obtained from indigo. {Indigo plant} (Bot.), a leguminous plant of several species (genus {Indigofera}), from which indigo is prepared. The different varieties are natives of Asia, Africa, and America. Several species are cultivated, of which the most important are the {I. tinctoria}, or common indigo plant, the {I. Anil}, a larger species, and the {I. disperma}. {Indigo purple}, a purple obtained from indigo. {Indigo red}, a dyestuff, isomeric with indigo blue, obtained from crude indigo as a dark brown amorphous powder. {Indigo snake} (Zo[94]l.), the gopher snake. {Indigo white}, a white crystalline powder obtained by reduction from indigo blue, and by oxidation easily changed back to it; -- called also {indigogen}. {Indigo yellow}, a substance obtained from indigo. | |

Iodine \I"o*dine\ (?; 104), n. [Gr. [?] violetlike; [?] a violet + [?] form: cf. F. iode, iodine. The name was given from the violet color of its vapor. See {Violet}, {Idyl}.] (Chem.) A nonmetallic element, of the halogen group, occurring always in combination, as in the iodides. When isolated it is in the form of dark gray metallic scales, resembling plumbago, soft but brittle, and emitting a chlorinelike odor. Symbol I. Atomic weight 126.5. If heated, iodine volatilizes in beautiful violet vapors. Note: Iodine was formerly obtained from the ashes of seaweed (kelp or varec), but is now also extracted from certain natural brines. In the free state, iodine, even in very minute quantities, colors starch blue. Iodine and its compounds are largely used in medicine (as in liniments, antisyphilitics, etc.), in photography, in the preparation of aniline dyes, and as an indicator in titration. {Iodine green}, an artificial green dyestuff, consisting of an iodine derivative of rosaniline; -- called also {night green}. {Iodine scarlet}, a pigment of an intense scarlet color, consisting of mercuric iodide. {Iodine yellow}, a brilliant yellow pigment, consisting of plumbic iodide. | |
