The earth as seen from outer space, or deepest ocean hue
Not quite the brightest violet… but royal nonetheless
So calming and so soothing too, a harsh tone to regress
Not like its cousin red, the sun to represent
Nor like the greenest rolling hill, the tint of grassy bed
The flowers waving from the pot, are yellow orange and pink
Important true for sure each one, at least that’s what they think
But indigo’s the quiet one, with deep and subtle tone
So rich in depth and purple haze, it proudly stands alone

I really like the color of indigo now that I’ve checked it out and wrote a poem about it. It reminds me of a very classy, royal type of color. I liked the idea of individualizing it rather than having it grouped in with blue or purple.
