Throughout
history, blue colour was unobtainable or rare. Humans took many years to discover,
understand and work with this colour. It
wasn’t easily found in nature making it quite difficult to extract. One of the
most expensive blue colours in history, even more than gold is Ultramarine Blue
due to its extensive production process and its origin.
