Did you know?

Sometime around 2,200 B.C., the Egyptians created the first synthetic pigment, known today as Egyptian blue. It was produced from a combination of lime, silica, copper and an alkali. It glows under infrared and fluorescent lights, which helps us identify the color even when it is not visible.
