Milori blue

Milori blue is a specific type of Prussian blue, a deep-blue pigment made from complex iron cyanides. While all iron blues are chemically similar, differences in shade arise from variations in particle size and manufacturing processes. Milori blue, specifically, has a reddish tint and is often used in paints, enamels, and lacquers. Prussian blue was first synthesized around 1704 and is produced through a reaction involving iron salts and potassium ferrocyanide, which is then oxidized to create the blue pigment. The blue color results from the absorption of light that causes electron transfer between iron ions.1
