http://prussianblue.net/ Where would you say that these cute little innocent girls got the name of there group? Well what if I told you the name Persian Blue came from a name of gas Chambers in the Holacaust. Well these girls have already been on record saying "Usually our friends suggest songs that they'd like to hear us sing. We choose ones that we like and that can easily be changed to acoustic. And they have to be songs that have meaning to us and our listeners and have a good message for White youngsters...." This is what I found out about what Persian Blue is and believe me its alot more than just some pretty color. Just take a look at this search on google. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=prussian+blue+gas+chamber&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Prussian Blue is a reference to the residue left by Zyklon B

Originally, "Prussian blue" was a color used by Prussian army regiments for their uniforms beginning in the early 1700s. Kind of like British regiments used red as the color for their uniforms.

True, it's a favorite color of mine.

However there's no doubt in my mind what the youngsters (mom and pop) meant, and it wasn't their blue eyes. Aside from the slang as the residue of Zyklon B, it's a favorite topic of Holocaust deniers. Delousing agents leave prussian blue too. Or there isn't enought pb for Zyklon, you can imagine the machinations.

I wish I could say something nice about all this.

doesn't sound too much different than a lot of rap. (neither of which are right)

You're right, when either of them, white supremecists or rappers, praise murderers, or advocate racial separation, they should be condemned.

[SJackson]

There's nothing like affirmative action or white-bashing white-guy-always-bad-guy-in movie, white-people-butt-of-jokes, to keep the white nationalist movement going.

They thrive on hate, just like Farrakan's followers.

Well, on 20/20, or was it NightLine they said it was for Prussian (Old German, the professional soldier German) and Blue, the color of their eyes.

They were stressing their German roots and the ideal of Blond, Blue eyed Aryans.

Yeah, it's too bad a perfectly nice color got mixed up with these nazi girls.

I don't have a problem with people preserving their culture and taking pride in their heritage, whether german, jewish, african or whatever, but these girls and their parents have clearly crossed the line into nazism and racism.

[LongElegantLegs]

Wow, you're right! I wish I hadn't asked. But thanks for explaining, anyway. :-)

Ugh. So you're saying that when I open a tube of paint (watercolor) labelled 'Prussian Blue', it's an homage of sorts, a reference to the gas used at Auschwitz? Surely the paint and color have been around longer? Ugh. Note to self: check and consider disposing of prussian blue and re-order some new paints.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

I say continue to use Prussian blue, Red, and paint rainbows if you wish.

If we let the nazis, commies and homosexuals/jesse jackson take colors away from us we'll have no colors left! Stand your ground! LOL.

[fortunecookie]

Yes, that's true. Prussian blue is a very nice blue, very versatile. I guess I was initially shocked, I had not heard of that connection.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The color's been around longer. I know that for certain because my grandparents has some prewar Crayolas that included it. I think it's sort of a oblique reference for these nutballs.

[SeriousSassy]

Almost certinly it is just a color. Germany's rise as a world power in the late 1800s was a least partly due to the wealth from advances in dye chemistry!

[BTCM]

Prussian Blue as used in engineering comes in a small tube the size of your finger and is used in small amounts to indicate the contact area of bearings to shafts, valve seat contact area etc. Every millwright/machinist used it.

[Lazamataz]

How sad. These two girls are broken before they even start out in life.

[hellinahandcart]

Much longer. Prussian Blue was one of Winslow Homer's staple colors (and the color wasn't new then either).

I used it myself for many years. Only switched to Windsor Blue (closest sub I could find) after learning that many of the colors I'd been using for years (Prussian Blue, Naples Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, etc) were not as lightfast as previously believed.

[Wallace T.]

The girls look like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen gone Nazi.

[hellinahandcart]

Delousing agents leave prussian blue too. Or there isn't enought pb for Zyklon, you can imagine the machinations.

So what are they saying, that the dead bodies should have been bluer?

Since the bodies were cremated to ash, how do they have any idea what color the bodies were?

[Barney Gumble]

I know, I've used it in gear contact testing as well.

You know, I thought so. I was trying to recall, but was second guessing myself. What an unfortunate association for the color. I thought that Homer, one of my favs, had used it, and Sargent, too. I've tried other blues, and despite it's not being as lightfast as thought, I still come back to it for pieces. I haven't tried Windsor Blue yet, but will be adding it to my list.
