Ultramarine

Ultramarine is a color that is really blue and very pretty. It was first made a long, long time ago by people who wanted to make a special color that was really, really blue. They used something called lapis lazuli, which is a pretty blue rock that they pounded into a powder.

The people who first made ultramarine were really careful with it because it was really hard to make, and really expensive too. They used it for really special things like painting pictures and making cloth for important people.

Nowadays, people can make ultramarine in a special way using other things like chemicals and minerals, so it's not as hard to make anymore. But it's still a really beautiful color that lots of people really like. You can find it in all kinds of things like paints, makeup, and even toys!
