As far back as the Middle Ages in Europe,
blue has always been a color worn by the nobility. Some kings wore 
blue cloaks to their crowning ceremonies. The dye was made from a 
substance that had to be brought all the way from far-off India - 
indigo, which was made from an extract of the indigo plant. In 1897 
BASF became the first company to hit the market with a 
synthetically-produced version of indigo. In entertaining episodes 
our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on 
Chemistry in our everyday life.
