From a Thorn Comes a Rose: The Quest of the Perfect Blue

Από αγκάθι ρόδο: Το κυνήγι του απόλυτου μπλε

From the blue pigments in the texts of Theofrastos and the blue color of the Iranian and Chinese ceramics labs, from secret recipes for the color blue in the Middle-Ages to YInMn, a blue pigment discovered in 2009 by chemist Mas Subramanian, and Quantum Blue, a pigment made of quantum dots, created by Greek painter Olga Alexopoulou two years ago, the story of the color blue runs through the story of the world.
