In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa a detail discussion on the proper implementation of colours, narration on primary colours, different shades of colours are also found.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
