The Newest Blue of all the Hues - YInMn

Written by Oceanside Glasstile | Jun 28, 2016 6:47:52 PM

There is a brand new shade of blue that was just stumbled upon through a chemis-tastrophe and it’s absolutely BLUE-tiful! Scientists discovered the color accidentally mixing Yttrium, Indium and Manganese together at 2000 degree F.

They’ve dubbed the color YInMn Blue. What makes it so cool? Besides the fact that it’s blue . . . The pigment's crystal structure keeps it from fading, even when exposed to oil or water. Now it’s being used in sketches, paintings and it's even being considered for rooftops as a solution to keep buildings cooler.

 So to throw it up to the scientist of the YInMn creation, we celebrate the beauty of blue in all of its tiled glory.

Interesting patterns combined with thoughtful color placement is sure to put the cool in your selection of blues. (Shown here: Oceanside Glasstile Braid pattern in the colors Dove Irid and Sapphire Irid - Photo: Chipper Hatter Photography)
