What is the meaning of the color Blue-green?
Ancient Egyptian artisans used a similar hue in faience pottery and wall paintings as early as 3000 BCE, associating it with water, fertility, and protection. The English color name blue-green appeared in print by the mid-19th century as color classification became more systematic in art and science education. The pigment gained wider commercial use after synthetic turquoise dyes became available in the late 1800s, allowing the color to move from decorative arts into textiles and print. Tiffany and Co. adopted a close relative of this hue for their signature packaging in the 1840s, giving the color a lasting association with luxury and refinement.
