In the terminology ofcolor theory,RGB color spacehas a much largercolor gamutthanRYB color space.

Cerulean(/səˈruːliən/), also spelled caerulean, is a variety ofthe hue of bluethat may range from a light azure blue to a more intense sky blue, and may be mixed as well with the hue of green. The first recorded use ofceruleanas a colour name inEnglishwas in 1590.[3]The word is derived from theLatinwordcaeruleus,"dark blue, blue, or blue-green", which in turn probably derives fromcaerulum,diminutive ofcaelum,"heaven, sky".[4]
"Cerulean blue" is the name of a blue-greenpigmentconsisting ofcobaltstannate(Co2SnO
4). The pigment was first synthesized in the late eighteenth century by Albrecht Höpfner, a Swiss chemist, and it was known as Höpfner blue during the first half of the nineteenth century. Art suppliers began referring to cobalt stannate as cerulean in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was not widely used by artists until the 1870s when it became available inoil paint.[5]
