Maya Blue

People often ask why Maya is called Maya. She is a Blue Merle Collie, I had a previous collie called Blue so didn't want to use that again. So after a little research on shades of blue. this helped me decide.

In spite of the abundance of colors found in the murals and other objects encountered in ancient Mayan sites, a peculiar hue of blue has captured the interest of researchers. The blue color, resembling that of the Caribbean Sea, is now known as "Maya Blue." However, the pigment is found not only on wall paintings and pottery from Mayan sites, but in many other locations in Central America as well. Thus, there are open questions as to whether there was ancient technology transfer by the Mayans to other cultures or if the other cultures discovered this technology on their own.
