Chefchaouen Blue
Chefchaouen Blue comes from Morocco's "Blue Pearl" town. Founded in 1471, all buildings are painted varying shades of blue. Two origin theories: Jewish refugees expelled from Spain in 1492 brought the tradition (blue represents heaven and God in Judaism), or blue repels mosquitoes. Either way, Chefchaouen's blues create a dreamlike color landscape.

Chefchaouen was founded in 1471, with the blue painting tradition beginning in the 15th-16th centuries.
Chefchaouen blue paint traditionally mixes lime, natural mineral pigments, and a little egg white or glue. Locals regularly repaint houses, keeping the blue tones harmoniously refreshed.
