Some days I need indigo blue. That blue verging on purple of old story books and book covers. It's somewhere between cornflower and ink, between twilight and cobalt deep sky. Sometimes it's only a small part of an image, other times it's the entirety.
In homage to that blue.
In homage to that blue.
