Excellent video on the history of ultramarine.

i'm taking a music history class and there is a painting mentioned in the textbook The Blue Boy - by Thomas Gainsborough trying to understand why it is so famous and it must be because the color blue was majestically in some way, in the process of getting it

It explains everything. I went to Romania, Monasteries were painted with blue paint. They made a big deal about the blue paint and I didn't understand why after all these years now I know why. Lol

Very relaxing video to watch before sleeping

the discovery of the murals behind the bamiyan buddhas after they were blown up in afghanistan kinda changes the history of the use of colour dramatically.. by about 900 years

Interesting video. But lacking important information. 1. History of indigo color. 2. Isatis tinctoria, also called woad , dyer's woad, or glastum, in the family Brassicaceae. It is occasionally known as Asp of Jerusalem. Woad is also the name of a blue dye produced from the leaves of the plant.

@HreForTheMusic

Its the same reason the sky or water is blue; the blue light (shortest wavelength) scatters the easiest so its the color we see. All the other colors are absorbed within the ice.

@SIMKINETICS

Josh L That doesn't explain blue ice adjacent to white (colorless) ice in glaciers.

@HreForTheMusic

9 жыл бұрын

true, but that is because when glaciers form the snow that falls (white) has not been compressed into ice (blue). The lose particles of snow reflect light much better than ice does, making it white and the light that does make it into the ice part then absorbs basically all the light except blue.
