The mayan blue color mistery

Re: The mayan blue color mistery

Hello everyone!
Some years ago I read an article on Maya blue and apparently the famous
colour was made by mixing indigo and white clay. I'm sure there is more
to it than that considering the many variations but this seems to be
the basic formula.
