The team based their new pigment off a barium feldspar mineral (BaAl 2 Si 2 O 8­) that also features high temperature and chemical stability. Compounds containing barium, aluminum, silicon and cobalt ...

A new pigment called YInMn Blue is now out in the market. Because it is a rare and valuable find, it is currently priced at $179.

YInMn blue was the first new synthetic blue pigment since cobalt blue, not Prussian blue. YInMn blue reflects near-infrared radiation; it doesn’t absorb infrared radiation.

For the last 200 years, cobalt blue has been a dominant commercial blue pigment because of its colour intensity, ease of synthesis and versatility. However, 33% of the colourant by mass is ...
