What does INDIGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A deep blue dye obtained from certain plants, or the dark blue-violet color of that dye.
Indigo was extracted for centuries from the leaves of tropical plants such as Indigofera, through a slow process of fermenting and oxidizing the leaves to release the blue pigment. The same name later settled as the color between blue and violet in a division of the rainbow into seven colors. Synthetic indigo, developed in the nineteenth century, largely replaced the plant-based dye and is still used today to color denim.
