Ultramarine Blue has a rich history, tracing its origins back to ancient civilizations where it was highly esteemed for its rarity and beauty. The name “ultramarine” itself signifies its origin from “beyond the sea,” symbolizing the arduous journeys undertaken to obtain lapis lazuli from distant lands. Initially, Ultramarine Blue was a luxury reserved for the elite due to its exorbitant cost. However, with the advent of synthetic alternatives in the 19th century, it gradually became more accessible to a wider audience.
