ULTRAMARINE BLUE

Ultramarine blue pigment is a vibrant, deep blue pigment with a rich history and diverse modern applications. Originally derived from the semi-precious stone lapis lazuli, the pigment is now predominantly synthesized through a chemical process to produce a consistent, cost-effective colorant. Known for its intense hue, excellent lightfastness, and non-toxic nature, ultramarine blue is a staple in art supplies, cosmetics, and industrial applications.

It is used in various forms, including oil paints, watercolors, acrylics, and textile dyes, making it a versatile choice for both artistic and practical purposes. Leading brands like Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith offer high-quality ultramarine blue products that cater to a range of needs from professional artists to industrial manufacturers.
