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:

- 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:
- synthetic (Phthalocyanine, Aniline blue)
