Scientists Accidentally Discover New Shade of Blue

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jun 28, 2016

Called YInMn blue, the pigment will finally be available to artists and manufacturers later this year through an agreement with the Ohio-based Shepherd Color Company, artnet reports.

It’s unusually good at reflecting infrared light, which could make it useful in roofing materials, reflecting sunlight to keep buildings cool.

I swear I've already seen this exact shade my whole life. It must be a minute difference that the human eye cannot differentiate??

You can patent colours? Or is it just the compund?

Colours. I know patone and one other company are the biggest patent holders. Car companies like to patent AND trademark colors too. (e.g. Ferrari, Ford, Jaguar...etc) Random thought: What can't you patent, trademark, copyright these days?

There are some things that get turned down (such as words in common usage, or the sound of a Harley Davidson motorcycle). But not as many as you'd think.

It's new pigment. With desirable properties :
"So, what’s so special about this blue?
This pigment is far more stable when exposed to heat or acidic conditions. Additionally, unlike Prussian blue or Cobalt blue pigments, it doesn’t release cyanide and is not carcinogenic – that's always a plus. Not only that, the highly reflective properties of the new pigment means it could be used in paints that could help keep buildings cool by reflecting infrared light."...“Our pigment is useful for art restoration, because it is similar to ultramarine but really more durable.”

Also can we tell its exact colour by looking at its representation on our screens?

Exactly! That's my point! It may be new pigmenting with numerous grand qualities, but my eye cannot tell the difference from what I perceive to be that exact shade already existing.

I hate smurfs, so I will buy an industrial quantity. It'll be expensive, but the frog god demands it.
