Indigo is the lapis lazuli — the deep dark indigo of the most immediately famous Afghan Badakhshan Sar-e-Sang lapis lazuli mine deep-indigo gemstone.
Do Scarlet, Gold and Indigo Go Together?
Yes — scarlet, gold and indigo go together as Kanazawa lacquer night — brilliant vermillion scarlet, ceremonial gold foil, and indigo near-dark cool in one Kaga craft hall. First impression is kanazawa-gilt night — hotter than red-gold-indigo lantern-gilt, built for evenings and spirits. Indigo absorbs light; gold and scarlet blaze visible so the mix is dramatic tension with maki-e weight, not middle gray. Picture a spirits bottle with denim-night ground under foil type, a gallery lobby, or a coat with a gold scarf on near-dark cloth that owns Kanazawa gravity. Evening and luxury brands lean on this triad for luminous dark prestige with Japanese lacquer history. Let indigo dominate — flood both warms and it turns costume villain. Kanazawa lantern: strong for evenings and spirits, weak for soft spa.
