Majorelle blue

Marrakech, Morocco

When Morocco was a protectorate of France (1912-1956), French painter, Jacques Majorelle, designed this botanical garden at his home and studio in the heart of Marrakech.  This bold cobalt blue was used extensively throughout the garden and its buildings and later became known as bleu Majorelle - Majorelle blue.

If you're a blue nut like me, definitely go see this wonderful masterpiece!  The blues will blow your mind!
