Yay! Thank you so much for writing about glaucous blue! It’s such an ethereal color, isn’t it? It’s one of my favorites!

I have so many colors I’d like to suggest sometime, if you’d appreciate that! It’s so exciting to see pieces on such beautiful colors. Right now, I just saw a color called indicolight! I’m also interested in rich, almost stained-glass reds just now, possibly like garnet or pomegranate red?

Of course!! Thank you for requesting this lovely blue, and I'd absolutely appreciate hearing more suggestions! I haven't heard of indicolight, will have to look it up. Those reds are also gorgeous.

Thank you, I’m really excited about these posts! It’s sad to me that the use of saturated color has been decreasing since sometime in the 19th. I’m always happy to find people appreciating color as much or more than I do. I can’t wait to see what colors you write about next!

Really excellent piece on this shade. The connection between surface texture and color preception caught me, how waxy eucalyptus or bird feathers creat that diffused quality naturally. I've been testing some interior palettes lately and notice how the same blue reads totally diferent on matte vs glossy finishes. It's almost like the texture does half the work in creating that muted, atmospheric effect.

Thank you for this! Texture really is definitely doing half the work, love how you worded that. And true, the same blue does read completely differently depending on the finish, pretty cool how that works.
