Comments:

Cobalt-colored beads never photograph well.  They always comes out looking much lighter than they are, and looking like sapphire or even capri blue.  The picture above had to be darkened considerably, but it still doesn't have the right shade of blue.  The actual beads are dark and rich and have that purplish quality that real cobalt blue has.
