Introduction

Ultramarine has been prized across many centuries and many cultures. Our own history runs back to Reckitt's Blue, once a leading laundry whitener.

Until the 19th century the only source of ultramarine was rare, costly lapis lazuli. Today we make it from kaolin.

The colour space

Impossible to match by blending.

Ultramarines occupy a unique position in the colour space. No combination of other pigments reproduces the same rich vibrancy — which is why, for millennia, the only way to obtain it was to grind lapis lazuli.
