Sort of an art ping.

Have you heard of this pigment? Is there anything equivalent in use now?

Egyptian blue.

[Beowulf9]

I’ve heard of it. We prob have many shades that are the equivalent but the importance of it is the fact that the Egyptians had found a way to make such a color, that lasted so long, over 1000 years, and retain it’s luminescence.
