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)

- carbonate (Azurite, Verditer)

- silicate (ultramarine, Lazurite, Egyptian blue)

- other (Prussian blue, Manganese blue)

Examples of organic blue pigments:

- plant (Indigo, Woad)

- synthetic (Phthalocyanine, 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.)
