Talk:Indigo

message: ===Regarding the label "Indigo"===
# Indigo is the legitimate name of a dye, a chemical extract, and several well-defined colors from various color systems.
# The extract, the dye, the segment of the rainbow labelled indigo, and the colors that commercial color companies label indigo are all different from one another.
# None are absolutely authoritative.
===Regarding the inclusion of color swatches===
Including color swatches may or may not be useful at this point, unless another system gives another color the label "indigo" there are many variations on indigo and it does not appear useful to include them all, nor add others as they appear.
This is all in my IMHO

message: This colour is not indigo, it's violet. Indigo would be something more like #3F00FF. Restfultree2022 (talk) 02:47, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  This indigo is too purple 

message: #3F00FF is kinda bright so I think it makes more sense if we use #3800DF instead of 3F00FF since indigo always been considered to be a deep violetish-blue and #3800DF is kinda a deep color. --IndieTheFurry (talk) 03:31, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changing the color code 

message: Entries in List of colors: A–F contained links to this page.
The entries are :
* Dark imperial blue (#00416A)
* Dark imperial blue (#00147E)
* Imperial blue
* Japanese indigo
I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:41, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible removal from list 

message: The following snippet from the current text of the article, makes little sense:
"The human eye does not readily differentiate hues in the wavelengths between what are now called blue and violet. If this is where Newton meant indigo to lie, most individuals would have difficulty distinguishing indigo from its neighbors."
I'm not aware that most people have any trouble distinguishing blue from violet. I expect they find it even easier to distinguish cyan (Newton's "blue") from blue (Newton's "indigo"). If this snippet is trying to make some kind of point, it is failing to make it, and it does not give any source. I suggest we strike it.

thread_title:  Distinguishing indigo from it's neighbors 

message: This is a great starting point but the authors skipped over thousands of years and major civilizations in Africa that pioneered the use of indigo like the Touareg - or how did other nations learn how to cultivate and use indigo - like the anthropologist Ibn Battouta who traveled the world and documented textile dying ..... 
This article is enthnocentric and bias against many civilizations that participated in the construction of knowledge around Indigo or NILA as is known in Africa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evebrocart (talk • contribs) 17:10, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical facts

message: This article repeatedly refers to a shade of blue called "color wheel blue" and links to blue for that, but there's no discussion of that shade or concept at the linked article.  Color wheel is no help either.  Color term is a good and helpful article but does not help me sort out what was meant by this. Ccrrccrr (talk) 23:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
