Throughout history, this handmade single pigment has been a staple for textile dying, manuscript illumination, and mural painting, with the earliest known uses dating back to 4000 BC! Synthetic Indigo entered the scene around 1900, providing a smooth, consistent and readily available option for commercial use.
