Majorelle Blue

Shade of blue trademarked by French artist Jacques Majorelle

Majorelle Blue is a clear, intense, fresh shade of deep blue.

In 1924, the French artist Jacques Majorelle constructed his largest artwork, the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech, Morocco, and painted the garden walls, fountains, features and villa this very intense shade of blue, for which he trademarked the name Majorelle Blue.^[1] He had noticed the colour in Moroccan tiles, in Berber burnouses, and around the windows of buildings such as kasbahs and native adobe homes.^[2]
