Fun facts about the color blue

You will have come across Bluetooth in your electronics. It’s a strange name for wireless transfer between electronic devices, isn’t it? Actually, it was originally the working name when Bluetooth was in development—a name that stuck. It was inspired by the king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth, who united much of Scandinavia between 950 and 986. But why on earth would anyone be called Bluetooth in the first place? Back then, the word blue was also used to describe black in the Scandinavian languages. So Harald Blacktooth would have made more sense, given the word's current usage. The word blue in its current meaning made its way to Scandinavia from France, via England, in the thirteenth century.

Historically a highly exclusive and expensive color

Blue was anything but a common color in the old days. The color blue was initially produced by crushing a mineral called Lapis Lazuli. It was so rare that it cost as much as gold. It was not until the late nineteenth century that we started producing synthetic blue colors, making them affordable. Now you know a little more about the color blue.
