Humans Have Been Arguing About What Color to Paint the Walls Since 3,000 BCE

Humanity’s ancestors 5,000 years ago brightened up their Stone Age homes by painting the insides, according to new archaeological evidence from the Orkney Islands in Britain. They used red, yellow and orange pigments from ground-up minerals and bound it with animal fat and eggs to make their paint. Because who wants to live in a plain stone hut, even in 3,000 BCE?

The new Orkney finds are the earliest ever example of man using paint to decorate their properties in Britain, if not in Europe.
