For many years I thought the Forbidden City was “red”, but in my heart of hearts I knew it was not an ordinary red. Eventually I learned that it is called ashes of roses. The materials used to make the paint are local to the area and have been used for hundreds of years. The materials and many of the methods have not changed, which gives the Forbidden City its remarkable appearance.
