Description
Blue is a color produced by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of about 450-490 nm. It is considered a primary color in both the RGB additive as well as in the traditional RYB color wheel. An average blue color is represented by the following color coordinates:
- Hex triplet: # 0000FF
- RGB: (0, 0, 225); CMYK (0, 0, 0, 100)
- HSV: (240°, 100%, 100%)
Examples of inorganic blue pigments:
- oxide ( Cobalt blue, Smalt, Cerulean blue)
- carbonate (Azurite, Verditer)
- silicate (ultramarine, Lazurite, Egyptian blue)
- other (Prussian blue, Manganese blue)
Examples of organic blue pigments:
- plant (Indigo, Woad)
- synthetic (Phthalocyanine blue, Aniline blue)
Synonyms and Related Terms
Blau (Deut.); azul (Esp.); pigments bleus (Fr.); pigmenti blu (It.); caeruleus (Lat.); blauw (Ned.); blå (Dan., Sven.); pigmentos azuis (Port.)
