“Scientists generally agree that humans began to see blue as a [colour] when they started making blue pigments. Cave paintings from 20,000 years ago lack any blue [colour], since as previously mentioned, blue is rarely present in nature. About 6,000 years ago, humans began to develop blue colorants. Lapis, a semiprecious stone mined in Afghanistan, became highly prized among the Egyptians. They adored the bright blue [colour] of this mineral. They used chemistry to combine the rare lapis with other ingredients, such as calcium and limestone, and generate other saturated blue pigments. It was at this time that an Egyptian word for ‘blue’ emerged.

Thus, blue remained rare for many centuries, though it slowly became popular enough to earn its own name in various languages.”
