@freemo Uh, doomed...
@freemo It kinda started worrying me to think of the probability of another failure.
@Absinthe you are right. it's actually lapis lazuli that "French Ultramarine" imitates. I was wrong...
@freemo and very easy for people to recognize.
@Absinthe that's interesting to know. all I know is we apply "French ultramarine" to a lot of oil paintings. It's a kind of transparent blue color which is necessary for normal paintings. I guess the color is made from chemicals that imitate the color of the gem. (for carbonated beverages, I don't particularly like them. sorry I know. Just plain water, coffee and tea.)
@Absinthe yes! 👍
@Absinthe Almost... Qunqing群青 is sometime for experts/artists, or more like written language. In my case it's 海蓝 or "sea blue" literally
@Absinthe Oh hi! that's amazing. My Chinese name has the meaning of the color of ultramarine.
@Surasanji Thank you 😊
