Shellfish purple is the best known and the most expensive natural pigment since ancient times. The purple color obtained from lichen are similar to shellfish purple. A number of authors describe that lichen were used to 'improve' shellfish purple or used in 'fake' shellfish purple preparations for the purpose of client deception. Yet the historical shellfish and lichen dye combinations are puzzling because there are no existing recipes that indicate how the dyes were used together. In this paper, techniques of the shellfish and lichen combined dyeing and its color properties are described to verify the historic references.
