FRAGMENT CONTAINING TEKHELET DYE DISCOVERED NEAR DEAD SEA

A discovery that proves the source of the dye used anciently for tekhelet…

Comment

"To this day, scientists and scholars have not reached a consensus on whether tekhelet was a light sky-blue color, as most modern day experts on the subject now believe, or a darker, more purple-hued blue." 😪

So even with 3 samples there is no way to provide a Pantone colour code for tekhelet. I would think that oxidation and sun bleaching over time would also change the hue, so there is no way of knowing for certain.
