Answer:

Blue is considered the costliest color, and paints or dyes containing the colour have been traced back to the early Egyptians and the Stoneage. but many different sources of blue include minerals and plants. in England, textile makers often relied on a plant called Woad.

Step-by-step explanation:

woad was found to be less costly than other sources, such as the mineral lapis lazuli.
