Chemists at Oregon State University have accidentally produced a new blue pigment!
Many blue pigments are expensive, poisonous, or prone to fading, but this new one seems to be very stable so far. While these scientists were trying to create a material with "novel electronic properties," this new pigment was found.
It's fairly expensive though because of the iridium they use to make it, and are currently experimenting with other ways to make this new brilliant blue.
