Indigo is a deep color between blue and violet, often associated with the night sky or the ocean.

It is one of the seven colors of the rainbow, and also the name of a plant that produces a natural dye of the same hue.

Indigo has been used for centuries in various cultures and traditions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American art.

Here are some strange or uncommon things that can be of the indigo color:
  • Indigo children: According to a pseudoscientific New Age concept, indigo children are children who are believed to possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.
    They are said to be more empathetic, creative, intuitive, and independent than their peers.
    Some claim that they are the next stage of human evolution, while others view them as spiritually enlightened beings.
    The term "indigo children" was coined by Nancy Ann Tappe, a self-proclaimed psychic and synesthete, who claimed to see auras and noticed that many children born in the 1970s and 1980s had indigo-colored auras.

  • Indigo snake: The indigo snake is a large, non-venomous snake that can grow up to 2.5 meters in length.
    It is native to the southeastern United States and northern Mexico, where it inhabits a variety of habitats, such as pine forests, swamps, and grasslands.
    The snake gets its name from its shiny, iridescent black or dark blue scales, which reflect indigo hues in sunlight.
    It is a powerful predator that feeds on rodents, birds, frogs, lizards, and even other snakes, including rattlesnakes.
    The indigo snake is considered to be a threatened species due to habitat loss, persecution, and overcollection.

  • Indigo bunting: The indigo bunting is a small, seed-eating bird in the cardinal family.
    It is migratory, ranging from southern Canada to northern Florida during the breeding season, and from southern Florida to northern South America during the winter.
    The male indigo bunting is a brilliant indigo blue, while the female is a dull brown with faint blue streaks.
    The indigo bunting is a songbird that can learn and mimic the songs of other birds, such as goldfinches, sparrows, and warblers.
    It is also a polygynous species, meaning that one male can mate with several females in a single breeding season.

  • Indigo dye: Indigo dye is an organic compound that produces a distinctive blue color.
    It is derived from the leaves of some plants of the Indigofera genus, which are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
    Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years to color fabrics, such as denim, cotton, silk, and wool.
    It is also used for artistic purposes, such as painting, printing, and tattooing.
    Indigo dye is unique in that it does not directly bond with the fabric, but rather undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen that changes its color from green to blue.
    This process is called vat dyeing, and it requires a special fermentation technique.

Funny stories about the 'Indigo'

The Indigo Muse

Far-far away, in the heart of Paris, where art and fashion intertwine like the Seine through the city, lived a painter named Manolo Chen. Manolo was known for his vibrant use of colors, but there was one hue that he held in the highest regard: indigo. This deep, rich color spoke to him in ways no other could. It was the color of twilight, of mystery, and of dreams yet to be realized.

One day, as Manolo was working on his latest piece, he received an unexpected visitor. Raphael McLeod, the top model whose face graced the covers of every major fashion magazine, had come to his studio. Raphael was known for his striking features and his ability to bring any designer's vision to life. But today, he was not here for a photoshoot; he was here for inspiration.

"Manolo," Raphael began, his voice smooth and captivating, "I've heard about your fascination with indigo. I want to understand it, to feel it. Can you show me?"

Manolo smiled, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Of course, Raphael. Indigo is not just a color; it's an experience. Let me take you on a journey."

Manolo led Raphael to a room filled with canvases, each one a different shade of indigo. There were deep, almost black indigos, light, airy indigos, and everything in between. The room felt like stepping into a dream, where the boundaries of reality blurred.

"Indigo is the color of the night sky," Manolo explained, "It's the color of the ocean at its deepest. It's a color that holds secrets and stories."

Raphael walked around the room, his fingers lightly touching the canvases. "It's beautiful," he whispered, "But how do you use it in your designs?"

Manolo picked up a brush and dipped it into a pot of indigo paint. "Watch," he said, as he began to paint. With each stroke, the canvas came to life. He painted a scene of a moonlit night, with waves crashing against the shore. The indigo paint seemed to glow, creating a sense of depth and movement.

Raphael watched in awe. "It's like magic," he said, "The way you use indigo, it brings everything to life."

Manolo nodded. "Indigo has that power. It's a color that can evoke emotion, that can tell a story. And in design, it's a color that can transform."

Inspired by Manolo's words, Raphael decided to incorporate indigo into his next fashion show. He worked with designers to create a collection that was entirely in shades of indigo. The result was breathtaking. The models walked down the runway in flowing indigo gowns, their movements mimicking the waves of the ocean. The audience was captivated, transported to a world of mystery and beauty.

The show was a huge success, and Raphael's indigo collection became the talk of the fashion world. But more importantly, it deepened his understanding of the power of color in design. He realized that indigo was not just a color; it was a feeling, a story, a piece of art.

As for Manolo, he continued to paint, his love for indigo growing with each passing day. He knew that he had found his muse in the color, and in Raphael, he had found a kindred spirit. Together, they showed the world the magic of indigo, and in doing so, they created something truly unforgettable.

And so, in the city of lights, where art and fashion danced together, the indigo muse continued to inspire, to create, and to dream.
