Answer

Klein Blue is a brilliant shade of blue that was invented by the French artist Yves Klein, who used it extensively in his monochromatic paintings and sculptures.
This color is made of synthetic ultramarine pigment mixed with a special binder that preserves its intensity and luminosity.

Klein Blue is also known as International Klein Blue (IKB), because Klein registered the formula at the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle (INPI) in 1960.
It is inspired by the sky and the infinite, and represents Klein's spiritual and artistic vision.

Answer

He used it as the central component of his monochromatic works, where he applied the paint thickly and texturedly to canvas.

He also used it to paint models' naked bodies and have them imprint themselves on blank canvases.

Klein Blue is composed of 100\% cyan, 72\% magenta, 0\% yellow and 35\% black.

It has a HEX code of #002FA7.

The ocean or a deep lake
Some flowers, such as cornflowers or hydrangeas
Some birds, such as blue jays or kingfishers
Some gemstones, such as sapphires or lapis lazuli
