Majorelle Blue

This beautiful colour was named after the artist Jacques Majorelle (March 7 1886 – October 14 1962), a French painter who’s most notable work is thought to be the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech, Morroco.

Majorelle Blue as a paint colour is most closely associated with the vividly coloured twelve acre botanical garden which Majorelle landscape designed between the 1920s and 1930s. Before Jacques Majorelle died, he had the receipe for Majorelle Blue patented, which has meant its reproduction is very costly
