Coffee Break: Blue
by Anna Reed
May 11, 2017
A new blue pigment called YInMn (yin-min) was discovered in 2009 by Mas Subramanian, a chemistry professor at Oregon State University, and it was the first new blue pigment in 200 years.
Crayola is running a contest to name their new blue crayon based on this pigment, and it's got us thinking blue today.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention blue in the lyrics?
Thanks to Tom Reed (who is hellbent on winning this contest) for today's theme suggestion.
