Correct answer: Prussian blue

Cyanotypes are famous for their deep Prussian blue color, produced when iron compounds react to ultraviolet light. In the 1840s, Anna Atkins used this simple, camera-less process to create the first-ever photographically illustrated book, capturing detailed silhouettes of British algae. Today, the same chemical reaction is why architectural plans are traditionally called blueprints! Photo: Atkins, Anna, 1799-1871, Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
