JUNE 2026 // LAPIS LAZULI
Chosen as one of the 2025 colours of the year “cosmic cobalt” is a super saturated, striking, royal, and rich blue. This colour is inspired by lapis lazuli, ;a semi-precious gemstone that has been used in jewelry and art since 7500 BC. This cobalt blue is deep, celestial, and reminiscent of a starry night sky.
More recently, my kids learned about lapis lazuli through playing their favourite video game, Minecraft. I love that Minecraft introduced my kids to the idea of extracting colour from minerals and rocks and then being able to dye fabric (including bed linens and rugs) into vibrant colours. Minecraft also gives players the option to shear a sheep for wool and dye that wool with dyes that were extracted from rocks and plants. Then when my kids see what we do at the SweetGeorgia dye studio, I think it makes what we do more relevant in their eyes.
