Zaffre is a deep blue pigment
Made from cobalt ore
It was used to stain glass and make smalt
In the Victorian era and before

Zaffre looks best when it contrasts
With lighter shades of hue
It can create a striking effect
When paired with white or yellow

Zaffre is a color of the sky
On a clear and starry night
It can inspire wonder and awe
In those who see its light

Zaffre is a color of the sea
When it reflects the sun
It can evoke calmness and peace
In those who feel its fun

Zaffre is a color that I like
It has a rich and deep tone
It can express elegance and grace
In those who wear it well
