Professional Watercolour - Indigo

Indigo, a rich and profound blue pigment, displays a wide range of hues from deep black to a subtle, delicate blue shade. Originally sourced from plants similar to the blue woad used by ancient Britons, its synthesis in 1878 in Germany marked a significant turning point in the history of pigments.
