Prussian Blue

 1704–1706: Prussian Blue was accidentally discovered in Berlin by the pigment maker Johann Jacob Diesbach while attempting to produce a red pigment. He used potash contaminated with animal-derived materials supplied by the alchemist Johann Konrad Dippel, resulting in a deep blue compound instead of red.

 1710: The pigment began to be commercially manufactured in Berlin and became known as "Berlin Blue" or "Prussian Blue." 

 

1724: The first scientific description of Prussian Blue was published by the French chemist Étienne François Geoffroy, helping establish its chemical significance.
