Due to the viral nature of the news lately, we’re compiling a list of all the news outlets where we’ve spotted mentions of this beautiful hue.

Pingback: 'Serendipitous discovery': OSU's new shade of blue
What a wonderful discovery! I had no idea there were new pigments left to discover. It’s so interesting that manganese ions absorb red and green wavelengths of light, but only reflect blue. It’s amazing that it may help keep buildings cool. The color is beautiful as well.
Hi!
I wrote the first article, on June 20th of last year, for artnet News. Would you mind listing my piece first please, since all the others came after? It is at #11 now. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/yinmn-blue-to-be-sold-commercially-520433
Thanks!
Done and done. Thanks for contacting us!!
