A synthetic green blue pigment was formed "when an aqueous solution of permanganate of potash yields with baryta-water a violet mixture which afterwards becomes colour-less and deposits a blue precipitate." First mentioned in the late 19th century, this pigment only became commercially available in the 1930s, after its patenting by IG Farbenindustries AG in 1935 - however, production appears to have been phased out only recently in the 1990s due to its cost compared to other pigments on the market such as cobalts and phthalocyanines, together with the fact that it contained barium and was deemed to be toxic: These days any artist paint manufacturers who offer the colour make a blend to arrive at the same hue.
Today while Matisse does manufacture to order a very small amount of colour based on the original Manganese blue - it has matched the original colour perfectly in the Manganese Blue Hue. Embedded with the wonderful mass tone of the original colour together with its rich undertones the Manganese Blue Hue is made from non toxic pigments rendering it totally safe for use by all artists (and the environment)
