CS Blue is Copper Sulphate Blue. Do you know what MS Blue is?
The gorgeous ‘MS blue’ silk saris, synonymous with legendary Carnatic vocalist and Bharat Ratna M. S. Subbulakshmi was not ‘peacock neck’ blue as many believe but ‘middle sea’ blue. Muthu Chettiar, a weaver in Madurai, the birthplace of Madurai Shanmugavadivu Subbulakshmi, had specially made a sari in ‘middle sea’ blue color for the singer. It became ‘MS blue’, synonymous with the singer, popularly known as MS after she started wearing the blue color saris in her concerts.
Not a day passes without her voice ringing like the temple bell at home, at least for an hour. A God-sent legend we should be eternally proud of.
