9 Examples of Persian Blue

 ,
Persian blue is a slightly purplish medium-blue based on the color of the mineral lapis lazuli. This is related to the color ultramarine, that is the historical name for a pigment made from crushed lapis lazuli. The name Persian blue refers to the fact that the Middle East, namely Afghanistan, was historically the largest producer of lapis lazuli. This was imported to Europe since antiquity. In the middle ages, ultramarine was the most expensive pigment used in Europe such that the color became associated with institutions with high social status such as royal houses. The following palette includes Persian blue and a few related colors.
