Can we have royal blue, without the royal price tag?

WE LOVE:

  • The elegance of a rich, deep royal blue color
  • …that exudes taste and sophistication

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

  • Conventional royal blue dyestuff has limited supply sources putting it at risk of dramatic price fluctuations…
  • …and its complex and lengthy application process often lead to sub-optimized productivity and use of resources
