Majorelle Blue is an intense and vibrant cobalt blue shade named after the French painter Jacques Majorelle. This artist, fascinated by the light and colors of Morocco, settled in Marrakech in 1919. There, in 1922, he acquired a property where he created a lush botanical garden around his Art Deco villa. In 1937, Majorelle decided to paint his studio and various garden structures a bright ultramarine blue, inspired by the colors he had observed on his travels in Africa. This distinctive hue, which contrasted with the vegetation and other elements of the garden, became his personal trademark and came to be known as “Majorelle Blue.”
