Painter (and photographer) Yves Klein laid claim to a particularly vibrant
blue that has come to be known as Klein Blue.

I haven't researched this heavily, but it seems to be based on Ultramarine.
When I try to make gumprints with Ultramarine they look terrible.  Dingy and
weak.  Do any pigment experts out there have any advice on how one might
achieve a Klein Blue intensity in a Gum Bicrhromate print?
