The 18 pages that link to Prussian blue, each with the reason it gives.

• PigmentBroader topic: Its discovery marked a major expansion of pigments available through modern chemistry.

• Coordination chemistryBroader topic: Its extended metal–cyanide framework produces an intense color and useful material properties.

• John HerschelRelated: Its formation gives cyanotype prints their characteristic blue image.

• CyanotypeBroader topic: This insoluble pigment gives a developed cyanotype its characteristic color.

• Carl Wilhelm ScheeleRelated: Scheele’s analysis of this pigment led to his preparation of hydrogen cyanide.

• Katsushika HokusaiRelated: Its stable, intense color became prominent in Hokusai’s blue landscape prints.

• UltramarineCompared with: Its lower cost and strong tinting power challenged ultramarine’s dominance.

• The Great Wave off KanagawaRelated: Its deep blue gives the wave much of its striking color.

• Thirty-six Views of Mount FujiRelated: Its deep blue helped distinguish several prints, especially the wave and water.

• Potassium cyanideCompared with: Its cyanide groups are bound within an iron framework, unlike free cyanide in KCN.

• Potassium ferricyanideRelated: Ferricyanide reacts with iron salts to produce this historically important blue material.

• Potassium ferrocyanideBroader topic: The pigment’s production from iron salts and ferrocyanide helped establish the compound’s practical importance.

• Anna AtkinsRelated: This pigment is the blue product that gives cyanotypes their color.

• FerricyanideCompared with: Ferricyanide is a discrete soluble ion, whereas Prussian blue is an extended solid network.

• ThalliumRelated: Insoluble Prussian blue is an established treatment that enhances thallium elimination.

• Aizuri-eRelated: Its arrival in Japan supplied a vivid, durable blue for many aizuri-e prints.

• Ammonium ferric citrateRelated: Iron(II) generated by light can react with ferricyanide to form this pigment.

• Navy blueCompared with: It is a historically influential dark blue pigment, distinct from the uniform shade called navy.
