Pigment history from Matisse:

Contrary to a prevalent myth suggesting that Unbleached Titanium represents Titanium White before the removal of brownish impurities, the actual genesis of this colour is a fascinating story. In an incident during the 1960s, Bocour, a prominent paint manufacturer in New York, inadvertently contaminated a batch of Titanium White with umber or ochre. The resulting colour, reaching the shelves and prompting complaints, became the starting point for the unique shade known as Unbleached Titanium.
