Blue is considered the most common color in the choice of clothing and interior design. It has a good effect on the psyche and has more than 20 shades. The most common are cornflower blue, azure, sapphire, ultramarine, denim. But the most interesting blue is Persian indigo …
For your information: the word “indigo” came to us from India by the name of a plant of an unusual purple color. Later, this shade was introduced into the classic seven-color optical spectrum.
Along with it there is a completely different color – Persian indigo, named after the blue fabric that was made in Persia (now in Iran).
That is, indigo and Persian indigo are two different colors. But both are incredibly beautiful and have a certain sacred meaning.
In the spiritual practices of Hinduism, the sixth chakra “ajna” (or “third eye”), which is located between the eyebrows and is responsible for wisdom and intuition, was the indigo color.
In the 60s, the term “indigo children” appeared, meaning children with an indigo aura, which means with a high level of intelligence and increased sensitivity.
In the late 90s, scientists seriously turned to the topic of indigo children and suggested that in recent years more and more atypical people have come to the world. Currently, this fact has remained unproven, but the phrase has become common use.
