The first synthetic color of the industrial revolution, this deep blue can create a wide range of washes. Prussian blue gets its name from the Prussian court, where it was used extensively in the 1700s. A rich blue with a green undertone, it was popular among Japanese woodblock artists for seascapes. It is the same blue used in blueprints.
