Colorchallenge Saturday Indigo + background information about the color Indigo

I had to confess, I had to google to know exactly what the color indigo looks like. The Wikipedia says

Indigo (from Greek indikón "the Indian", after the homeland East India) is a deep blue dye and gives its name to its colour Indigo. It can best be described as the last recognizable blue tone before it changes to a bluish violet. Indigo is included in the Colour Index as C.I. Pigment Blue 66 and C.I. 73000.

But I have to admit that I'm not too sure if the pictures contain enough of the color indigo :-) what do you think?

---

Well, it didn't make me any smarter. But in the depths of the internet you will find countless examples of images that contain this color or just a color table that shows the exact color tone.

---

On Pixabay I found a small color table and after that I could orientate myself a little.

So now I knew exactly which pictures I had to look for to take part in a Color Challenge.

In the last 20 years I have certainly archived 20.000 and more pictures and partly also met. Search function for places, landscapes, buildings and other search criteria would not be a problem, but still colors?

I could of course march off now and look for new motifs that exactly meet this criterion. But I will refrain from that for the time being. I will select images from my database and participate in the Color Challenge with them.

Of course, from now on I will also tag my pictures according to the colors and thus also call a color-based database my own.

Now enough of the words, here is my contribution to the Saturday Color Challenge Saturday June 9, 2018 with the Color theme Indigo.

I hope you like the pictures, and if it should be so I would be pleased about leaving a comment.
