1. Indigo

   Indigo is a deep color close to the color wheel blue (a primary color in the RGB color space), as well as to some variants of ultramarine, based on the ancient dye of the same name. The word "indigo" comes from the Latin word indicum, meaning "Indian", as the dye was originally exported to Europe from India. It is traditionally regarded as a color in the visible spectrum, as well as one of the seven colors of the rainbow: the color between blue and violet; however, sources differ as to its actual position in the electromagnetic spectrum. The first known recorded use of indigo as a color name in English was in 1289.

1. Indigo

   Indigo is a color that is traditionally regarded as a color on the spectrum between 450 and 420 nanometers and as one of the seven colors of the rainbow--the color between blue and violet. Although traditionally considered one of seven spectral colors, its position in the electromagnetic spectrum is controversial according to some recent research. Some people regard indigo as a deep and bright variation of blue close to the color wheel blue, as well as to some variants of ultramarine. The color indigo was named after the Indigo dye derived from the plant Indigofera tinctoria and related species. The first recorded use of indigo as a color name in English was in 1289.
