Cerulean, azure, navy, royal … Much has been written about the color blue, the first human-made pigment.
Now, a new shade of the celebrated color is available for artists — YInMn Blue. It’s named after its components — Yttrium, Indium, and Manganese — and its luminous, vivid pigment never fades, even if mixed with oil and water.
