customer request in hex code #2B4593
Blue is not an "earth colour" For millennia, blue has been a sacred and costly hue, more valuable even than gold. And in the Christian world, the most valuable colour was reserved for the most elevated of virgins. Enter Marian blue. Marian Blue has the hex code #2B4593. The equivalent RGB values are (43, 69, 147), which means it is composed of 17% red, 27% green and 57% blue. Interestingly these all end in 7, which is a Holy number. Since the colour was made from the lapis lazuli mineral which was difficult to procure and, hence, expensive, the choice of blue for the Virgin Mary a sign of devotion and respect.
