Hay una yerba en las tierras calientes que se llama xiuhquílitl. Majan esta yerba y esprímenla el zumo, y échanlo en unos vasos. Allí se seca o se cuaja. Con este color añir se tiñe lo azul oscuro y resplandeciente. Es color preciada.
\nHay color azul claro, de color del cielo, lo cual llaman texotli y xoxóhuic. Es color muy usada en las ropas que se visten, como son las mantas de los hombres y huipiles de las mujeres. Hácese de las mismas flores que se hace el matlalli o o [sic, repetido] color fino. Hay una piedra amarilla que molida se hace color amarillo, de que usan los pintores. Llámanla tecozáhuitl.
\nHacen estos naturales tinta del humo de las teas, y es tinta bien fina. Llámanla tlilli ócotl. Tienen para hacerlo unos vasos que llaman tlilcomalli en que se hacen, que son a manera de alquitaras. Vale para muchas tintas para escribir, y para medicinas que la mezclan
