cobaltblå

Cobaltblå is a dark shade of blue. It is a rich and deep color, often associated with precious stones and deep ocean waters. Historically, the color was derived from cobalt salts, which were used to create pigments. These pigments were highly valued for their intensity and permanence. The term cobaltblå itself is Swedish, translating directly to "cobalt blue." This specific hue is distinct from other blues, possessing a certain intensity and warmth. It has been used in art, ceramics, and decorative arts for centuries, prized for its luminous quality. The shade can vary slightly depending on the specific cobalt compound and the medium in which it is used, but generally, it is characterized by its deep, saturated blue tone. Cobaltblå is not a primary color in the traditional sense but rather a specific spectral color that can be produced synthetically or through natural mineral sources.
