I think I have seen textiles that tend toward the greenish-blue, but I can't document that right now. I found a printed fabric used in a quilt that is documented to be colored with Prussian blue. It is in "Calico & Chintz: Antique Quilts from the Collection of Patricia S. Smith," by Jeremy Adamson (Washington DC: Renwick Gallery, 1997. It is quilt #11, p. 62. Not exactly a green blue, but not a violet blue, either--described in the text as "a vivid medium blue." I tried matching with Pantone, and the closest I got was Niagara, #17-4123 (your mileage may vary). That should give some idea of the hue. The quilt is pictured here. _http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/online/highlights/artworks.cfm?id=CC&; StartRow=9_ (http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/online/highlights/artworks.cfm?id=CC&StartRow=9) Ann Wass _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
