Peru

Inca Red comes from Andean cochineal and red earth. The Inca Empire was the largest pre-Columbian empire; its vivid red textiles astonished Spanish conquerors. The Inca cultivated cochineal-bearing cacti in dry Andean valleys. Wild cochineal cacti still grow in the Cusco Valley near Machu Picchu.

Andes Green comes from Andean emeralds and malachite. The Inca considered green the color of life—Andean green valleys were the Inca civilization's granary. The Inca developed complex terrace agriculture at 3,000m altitude. Machu Picchu's surrounding emerald mountains, perpetually shrouded in mist, are called the "City in the Clouds."
