Kohl refers to finely ground galena.
Kohl is a black pigment traditionally made from galena, which is a gray-black mineral. Malachite is a green mineral that is sometimes used as a source of the green pigment in eye paints or cosmetics. Copper ore is not typically used as an eye paint pigment.
Kohl was a pigment used for eye makeup in Ancient Egypt. It consisted mainly of galena, which is a type of lead, as well as malachite and cerussite.

which pigment do we now call kohl- a copper ore or galena, a gray-black eye paint
Copper is a reddish metal. Galena is a greasy-looking greyish-silver rock. I'd probably use my eyes.
Egyptians were very particular about their eye makeup, or kohl. Popular shades of kohl up were black and green. The green color was made of malachite, an oxide of copper. Black kohl was called galena. Both malachite and galena were ground on a palette with gum or water to make a paste. It was applied with sticks which were round ended and were made of wood, glass or bronze. Also, henna was used to color hair, lips and nails.
