缥 (Piāo):
AN ETHEREAL, MISTY BLUE
缥 (Piāo) exemplifies a blue that is ethereal, silky and misty.

缥 (Piāo) does not have a fixed appearance, and is meant to change based on environment and lighting. It is reminiscent of vague images and sceneries, such as the looming appearance of distant mountains or the almost nostalgic beauty of a river waking up at the dawn of spring, fuelled by melting snow. It is hazy, elusive and hard to describe, calling to mind blue waves flowing peacefully to a distant place where the water and the sky meet.

The colour was explored in Wu Jun’s famous ‘Letter to Zhu Yuansi’ essay where the Liang dynasty poet, historian and official presents to his friend Zhu Yuansi a charming picture of the landscape around the Fuyang River, in today’s Zhejiang province.
