The history of BLUE 💙
Chemist Heinz Berke remarked: 'early mankind had no access to blue because blue is not what you call an earth colour... you don't find it in the soil.' The rarity and difficulty of accessing blue pigment encouraged civilisations to imbue the colour with mystical properties. 🪄 ✍🏻 @baytal.fann. The beauty of adding blue to tezhip… If we take a moment to examine tezhip in Istanbul during the reign of Mehmed II, cobalt blue comes to the fore as the most commonly used background color after gold, which was used in both matte and gloss finishes.
