Ethyl Green (C.I. 42590; C₂₇H₃₅BrClN₃) is a water-soluble triarylmethane dye.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Quick Facts Identifiers, Properties ...

It is derived from crystal violet by adding a N-ethyl group; crystal violet is therefore a possible contaminant.^[3] Changing the N-ethyl group to N-methyl yields methyl green. All three dyes are used as histological stains.^[1]^[3]
