The color Persian indigo is displayed at right. Another name for this color (seldom used nowadays) is regimental. The color was called regimental because in the 19th century it was commonly used by many nations for navy uniforms.
Persian indigo is named for an association with a product from Persia: Persian cloth dyed with indigo.
The first recorded use of regimental (the original name for the color now called Persian indigo) as a color name in English was in 1912.[4]
In human culture
- Many mosques in Iran, such as the enormous Shah Mosque in Isfahan, have interiors that are faced with tiles that are Persian blue or close variations of it.[5]
- The color Persian indigo, which as noted above was originally called regimental, was called by that name because it used to be the color of the navy uniforms of a number of different nations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to the fact that it was easy and inexpensive to use indigo dye to dye navy uniforms.
- The metaphysical books (on topics such as the seven rays) written by the New Age Prophetess Alice A. Bailey (which she claimed to have channeled from the ascended master Djwal Khul), published by the Lucis Trust and called by her followers the Alice A. Bailey material, in earlier editions up to and including the 1970s were originally bound in matte medium Persian blue, but since the 1980s, they have been bound in glossy Persian blue.
- When blue Persian carpets are produced in Iran, medium Persian blue is one of the most commonly used tones of blue.
