Nickel Oxide
Nickel Oxide is most often used to modify and soften the colour of other metallic oxides. Small amounts are normally all that is required.

A grey-green material which produces a grey colour in lead glazes and brown in glazes containing barium; in the presence of calcium the colour is tan and in high magnesium glazes a bright green.
