Description: Did you know that ancient Greek and Roman statues were not actually white? They were originally painted in bright, vibrant colors, but over the centuries, most of the paint faded or was lost completely. Today, scientists are reconstructing what these ancient statues really looked like by studying the tiny traces of paint still preserved on their surfaces.
