Scheele's Green was invented in 1775 by one of the most prolific, though little known chemist and pharmacist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele of Sweden. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical name copper arsenite and is highly poisonous. (Did you miss "arsenic" in the name?)
Scheele's Green has a beautiful greenish-yellow color and was used extensively in wallpapers, paints, candles etc. However, because its a copper compound, it has a tendency to blacken in the presence of sulphides. In 1814, Paris Green, also known as Emerald Green, was created to replace Scheele's Green but that too to ended up being quite toxic.
An interesting note: Scheele's Green could have been responsible for killing, though unintentionally, Napoleon. Yes, the famous Napoleon Bonaparte!
