Indigo, in Morocco, Tuareg.
Blue is the most advantageous colour. It spreads the fastest into the atmosphere because its wavelength is short. We call Earth a blue planet because of the seas and oceans. When sunlight is refracted, it spreads quickly. Glaciers absorb all colors, except blue. That is why there is such a thing as ice blue. In nature, there is not a single vertebrate with blue pigment, creatures like peacocks and parrots look blue because their skin or feathers reflect light. Even blue eyes, the subject of poems, do not have blue pigment. Are you bored?
There is no blue in old cave paintings because it is the latest dye produced. The Egyptians found it and even painted Cleopatra's eyes. Has it already become a symbol of nobility? The formula has spread all over the world, the Mayans made it with indigo, and the Chinese with copper and lead. Years later, William Wallace will also use blue as war paint, look, look!
The blue people of the Sahara, the Tuaregs, are the owners of this colour. They wear all blue around people who are not like them. According to their belief, blue protects them from sand, insects and the devil. This colour has spread and become the symbol of North Africa. When these people were taken to America to work in cotton fields, African-American music was born from the laments that came out of their lips: Blues. Blue sadness.
If I go into painters, the article will not end, but there is a stamp called Picasso's Blue Period works. And Matisse was introduced to this colour in Morocco. Finally, Majorelle created a world of blue in Marrakesh. The colour of Morocco is blue. The cities are blue, the cellabies are blue, the shawls are blue. Deep blue. As far as the eye can see. There, blue is a little sadness, a little joy. In today's world, there is a lot of tourism.
