Dayflower Blue Color – #758cbf: Codes and Complete Breakdown
By
Published on
Japanese dyers once extracted blue from the tsuyukusa (dayflower), but the pigment faded so fast it was mostly used for preliminary sketch lines on silk, meant to vanish beneath the final colors. Dayflower blue color keeps that impermanent, gentle quality, a soft periwinkle that feels like it could wash away.
