How to avoid imitations?

Majorelle Blue… the very name evokes dreams. But when embarking on a decorating project with this iconic color, it's easy to fall into a trap: the fake "Majorelle" blues offered everywhere, which in reality have nothing to do with the authentic shade created in Morocco. So how do you tell the real thing from the fake? And above all, why is the blue we offer at Olona Peinture different?

A legendary blue… and often imitated

Majorelle Blue is not just a simple bright blue.
It is an intense, deep, vibrant, almost electric color, which owes its uniqueness to a very precise dosage of pigments.

Many commercially available paints use his name, but:

• their pigmentation is duller,

• The depth is lacking.

• The final result often leans too much towards purpleor too much towards primary blue.

• The intensity disappears upon exposure to light.

In short: they evoke Majorelle Blue… without ever embodying it.

How to recognize a "fake" Majorelle Blue?

Some easy clues:

• The rendering lacks density.

• The color looks correct in the pot but fades when drying.

• The blue appears flat, without the characteristic vibrancy.

• The product contains little or low-quality pigment.

• The name "Majorelle" is used without any real correspondence.
