The palette of four Persian manuscripts of the 16th and 17th centuries were established by Raman microscopy to include lazurite, red lead, vermilion, orpiment, a carbon-based black, lead white, malachite, haematite, indigo, carmine and pararealgar. The first five pigments were identified on all four manuscripts, as previously found for other Islamic manuscripts of this period. The findings were compared with information available in treatises on Persian painting techniques. Red lead, although identified on all of the manuscripts analysed in this study as the main red pigment, is seldom mentioned in the literature. Two unusual pigments were also identified: the intermediate phase between realgar and pararealgar in the manuscript Timur namah, and carmine in the manuscript Shah namah. Although the established palette comprises few pigments, it was found that the illuminations were enhanced by the use of pigment mixtures, the components of which could be identified by Raman microscopy.
通过拉曼显微镜分析，16 世纪和 17 世纪的 4 本波斯手稿的颜料调色板包括青金石、红铅、朱砂、雄黄、碳基黑、铅白、孔雀石、赤铁矿、靛蓝、胭脂红和次砷酸铅。前五种颜料在所有四本手稿中都有发现，这与同期其他伊斯兰手稿的发现结果一致。研究结果与关于波斯绘画技巧的论文中提供的信息进行了比较。尽管红铅在本研究中分析的所有手稿中都被确定为主要的红色颜料，但在文献中很少提及。还确定了两种不寻常的颜料：在《帖木儿名》手稿中雄黄和次砷酸铅之间的中间相，以及在《沙赫名》手稿中胭脂红。尽管已确定的调色板包含的颜料很少，但研究发现，通过使用可以通过拉曼显微镜识别成分的颜料混合物来增强插图的效果。
