Shades of blue: what is what?
Nowadays the color blue is widely used and usually associated with royalty, art, military, business, and nature. Being so versatile, it has numerous definitions of shades and tones varying from light to dark. The history of the color blue suggests that it was once regarded as the most expensive and important color in ancient times. For Egyptians, the precious stones lapis and turquoise were the basis for the invention of a synthetic blue pigment (a rarity in nature) for various decoration purposes. In the European Middle Ages, the dye was made from woad, a flowering plant from the Mediterranean. Nonetheless, the dye was very expensive to make, so it was used by noblemen and wealthy individuals. In the Renaissance, blue pigment ultramarine was used in the fine arts of painting.
Today people get to enjoy a variety of mostly synthetic blue hues. Some of the most popular shades of blue are navy blue, royal blue, baby blue, light blue, dusty blue, and midnight blue. When it comes to choosing a garment or a set of furniture, people can get easily lost in the vastness of blue hues.
