Manō
Hawaiian term for shark. This rich blue with great opacity, transparency and lightfastness is considered an essential color in an artist’s palette.
In 1826, a synthetic version of Ultramarine was developed by French chemist Jean-Baptiste Guimet by heating kaolinite, sodium carbonate and sulfur in a kiln to create a pigment which is chemically identical to lapis lazuli, but even more vivid in color. In order to differentiate it from its mineral counterpart, it was called French Ultramarine. Due to its affordability and effectiveness as a lapis lazuli alternative, French Ultramarine quickly became more prevalent than the original mineral pigment.
