'Blue Indigo' - although I've always loved this colour this is the first time I've made it the reason for a computer artwork. In my search for the digital hex number for indigo I realized how varied it can be so decided to choose hex 060812 as it came closest to the blue indigo I always 'see' in my minds eye. This deep colour appears to be black at times so I've included white for tonal contrast.
'As early as more than 5,000 years ago, our ancestors in India, East Asia and Egypt, as well as probably the Maya, used the blue dye derived from the Indigofera Tinctoria plant to dye their clothes.
They must have really adored the deep blue, almost violet shade that could be produced with the help of this plant — otherwise, they would not have gone through the very demanding process necessary to achieve it.' (https://medium.com/@tsbojer)
