Testing The First Blue Pigment In Over 200 years...

YinMn Blue is the newest inorganic blue pigment successfully invented in over 200 years. It only recently hit the market for the fist time and today I somehow managed to get it...lets try this dude out and see how it looks compared to other blues.
(and to be clarify there were natural blue pigments found in the past 200 years but they're very unstable in comparison to YinMn blue)

[@yari139]

Fun fact: blue is the last color that was “discovered” by humans. For centuries, no word existed to describe the color blue; the sky was describe as green. Blue was just another shade of green and it is believed that humans may have been color blind thousands of years ago. It’s believed they could only see white, red & black and eventually yellow and then green. To this day, there are languages that don’t have a word dedicated for the color blue and they use a modified version of whatever word they use to describe green. You can thank the Egyptians for technically inventing the color blue. You can see the lack of awareness for the color blue in ancient writings; Homer’s The Odyssey is one that’s always used as an example as he described the ocean being wine colored with no allusion to it being referred that for any reason other than that’s what the Greeks described the ocean as.

[@columbus8myhw]

Since it's all a spectrum (literally), you could carve out any section of RGB space and call it a "new" color if you want. There's no reason to say that the ten or so "main" colors we have (red orange yellow green blue purple pink brown black white gray) are the "right" way to divide it up

[@MagicalHatStudios]

Humans weren't actually "colorblind" to blue at the time that the sky was being described as green or the sea being described as red. It's that a unique name for the color was missing from our vocabulary. The same way there are languages that don't have a name for "brown" and so "brown" is more easily recognized as a dark orange. English speakers have a difficult time seeing brown as orange because we have a distinct name to separate the two colors. Crazy how much of an impact language has on perception, really.

[@Kyle_Tungcab_Taylor]

Japan it was reversed. Back then they called every blue and green thing blue. Cause they took parts of the color spectrum and gave those title a specific name and what we would call green was put into the same category of we would call blue. The reversed happened around the world.

[@warriorcatskid003]

The Oh Hellos actually have a song that uses this as a metaphor for a change in perspective! It’s called Lapis Lazuli and it has lines like “but if there’s one thing I know it’s that the sky looked white and the water like wine when I first met you” in reference to people not having words for blue. It’s pretty neat, would recommend listening and analyzing.

[@twoa.m3925]

Woah :0 I'm from Indonesia, and a lot of the elders call the color blue green. Not so much now, but sometimes my parents or grandparents call the color blue green because of influence from their parents. Come to think of it, since I'm from the Sundanese tribe, I just realized that there is a Sundanese word for "green" (= "héjo") but there's no word for blue. Not sure if it's the same for every other Indonesian tribes, but still. Thanks for informing me this!

Looks like people’s best guess to what Egyptian blue was is calcium copper silicate, or cuprorivaite/caeruleum. The biggest issue is it’s kinda toxic, especially when it’s in a powder form

[@Jmvesey]

Just to clarify, the recipe for Egyptian blue wasn't intentionally destroyed by religious zealots. It fell out of use centuries before because Egypt had been absorbed by the Roman Empire which preferred reds, yellows, and oranges. And when Rome fell to the Persians it was finally completely lost.

Well, I learned a lot from my ancestors because they used to use a lot of natural dye for the sundried cloth made out of natural cotton. Hundreds of years ago, my ancestor been collecting purple dye out of the seashells called murex. (I know how it looked like but I don't know how they collected the color out of it, well i guess drying and crushing the shell-not sure lol). Another natural purple-bluish dye they collected are those from logwood, and also red dye from the insect cochineal (not sure about the spelling). Because of these knowledge, I won the local girlscout painting -using organic colors from the forest (yeaaaars ago..just reminiscing..) I missed my grandma, she just passed due to corona last week. 🥺😊🤍 But, I'm trying my best to smile because I knew she wanted me to be okay and she wanted me to be strong. Take care of yourselves folks. Covid is real.

[@sourceawry4035]

May your grandmother live on in the memories you have of her, and may the things she taught you come to your mind whenever you are near children, so that the wisdom of old can be passed down and endure many generations. If I remember correctly, the seashell you speak of was crushed to a powder then boiled in an alkaline solution, probably seawater with ash or clay dust or something similarly on hand. It was said to take a number of days to develop into the brilliant color the emperors, kings and royal families so desired as a symbol of their social status. I read that before the secrets of maKing silk were smuggled out of China, the finest silk fabrics in the trade nations were brought toTurkey by the ancient silk road, because even rarer than the violet dye alone was how it took to fine silk. The purple sheen was so told to shine like nothing else available for that time, having an almost magical or ethereal quality. I imagine there is nothing quite like it in our modern world, simply because the old techniques were so much more a matter of craft mastery. So complex, sparing no known phenomena of our natural world, and taking no shortcut or omission that was not solely ordered by the very heavens above. I mean that only by circumstance of the fluctuations that come with the yearly seasons turning, meaning the longer cycles of heat and cold, rain and sun, swarms or blights, etc. These factors are the same that determine whether the wine will age sweet or dry, refined through the determination and dedication of the human spirit over eons and generations, by the sheer will of each artisan to make it work with what is available. This discipline is seeming to be almost lost on our modern world, and even though the machines can produce something likened to almost anything imagineable, no machine will ever rival the hand crafted artifacts of our own kind. Cheers!

[@RuMiJP]

@@sourceawry4035 thank you! :) I am happy that some of us are still fascinated by the traditional arts and ancient methods. Actually i searched about fabrics because my grandma loved visiting vintage shops. She solely been looking for oversized dresses and curtains. She recycle those fabric into a new dress or something else.. she said, the rarer the better the older the more possible it is handmade. I found one video that i find fascinating it's the ancient fabric that cannot reproduce now because we don't have the same cotton plants like we used to. They call it the muslim fabric.

U need to get a good camera and set it to a fixed whitebalance for somewhat realistic color rendition. Get a good light too to show off precise color information.

Finally got my hands on it today after being on a waiting list for most of last year, can't wait to start painting with it!

[@JackTheVulture]

This is so interesting! I find that compared to the watercolors you bought, the YinMn blue looks a lot less complex, with one single hue, where the others will sort of float between cooler blues and teals in lower opacity. But I'm seeing it through a camera, and I wonder if that has something to do with the paint itself.

[@chakshitamittal5805]

the bluest blue sounds like a stuart semple colour ;D

8:14 "oh it's so pretty- *dies from cyanide present in prussian blue*"

[@rubybuttons668]

The cyanide in Prussian blue is completely stable and isn’t considered toxic.

[@letitiajeavons6333]

The cyanide in Prussian blue is bound to an iron that's the ferro. Prussian blue is Iron ferrocyanide. I accidentally made it chemistry class my freshman year of college. (I was supposed to add a thiocyanide (which is cyanide bound to a sulfur) reagent and if it precipitated reddish brown, it was a positive iron test. I accidentally added the ferrocyanide reagent. I was very lucky I didn't use up all of my original solution and could start over.

[@halmittens]

I just watched a nile red Video about Prussian blue and how stable the cyanide is 😻 Edit: auto correct xx

[@kuljitminhas8707]

Its because your phone only can see a triangle of the colors we see so we might not even see it

[@myhlosic]

@Hannah You have no idea if you and the commenter see blue the same way. Perspective is subjective. It may look Prussian Blue to them and Ultramarine to you. Don't just invalidate them because you disagree.

[@Niko-nd7ce]

Prussian blue is soooo beautiful!! I love that color!

[@fulgerion]

I loved that ultramarine! Super vibrant.

[@-Secret]

I like how the cameras just like, "nah I dont like this. Let's make it look purple... change my mind, I'll make it turquoise"

[@RamadaArtist]

This is why whenever I see people commenting on videos like this with things like, "meanwhile, digital artists be like..." I'm just over here going, "you don't know what you're missing," because there's so much of a range of color that is visible that our digital recording AND display devices struggle to accurately capture. Dry ultramarine pigment is basically impossible to accurately represent digitally, because it is so much brighter than what we're used to seeing in that range of the color spectrum, so we don't bother replicating it for digital displays.

I found it completely mind blowing when I learned that most ancient languages don't contain a word for the color blue. Like, what?! Basically, if they didn't have a method of creating a blue pigment, they didn't have a word for the color🤯

[@kristines9855]

Kyaneos is the word blue in ancient Greek

[@yari139]

@@kristines9855 So no language had a word for the color blue until “modern” times and to this day many languages still use a modification of the word they used to describe green because, to ancient humans, blue was just another shade of green. For example, the sky was blue and the Greeks described the ocean as wine colored. That being said, kyaneos was used to describe dark green and other colors in Ancient Greek, it wasn’t specifically used for the color blue.
