The world has always wanted to find a new color. It was so interesting to hear how science and art came together. I really fell in love with this blue. Back in my neck of the woods where I grew up is a chemist who makes this blue in small batches and some variants of it.

Due to limitation I cannot fulfill these until a certain amount for Pre-Order is met. 

 


Some info on YInMn Blue 
YInMn Blue (/jɪnmɪn/; for the chemical symbols Y for yttrium, In for indium, and Mn for manganese), also known as Oregon Blue or Mas Blue, is an inorganic blue pigment that was discovered by Mas Subramanian and his (then) graduate student, Andrew Smith, at Oregon State University in 2009.[1][3] The pigment is noteworthy for its vibrant, near-perfect blue color and unusually high NIR reflectance.[2] The chemical compound has a unique crystal structure in which trivalent manganese ions in the trigonal bipyramidal coordination are responsible for the observed intense blue color. Since the initial discovery, the fundamental principles of colour science have been explored extensively by the Subramanian research team at Oregon State University, resulting in a wide range of rationally designed novel green, purple, and orange pigments, all through intentional addition of a chromophore in the trigonal bipyramidal coordination environment.[4][5]

These colors are matte. They are made with pigments that mulled with a binder of gum arabic and ox gall. 

 

These are not sold in a set but as individual colors. 

Due to variation of monitors and mobile devices, colors may have slight variation in color.
