ultramarine definition

Ultramarine is quite a nice color. It's reminicent of the sea: "marine" is from the same stem as "maritime", which has a history probably as being from the old french, "mar". It may also have latin roots.

Further than that, entymologically speaking, I cannot say.

There is an additional hypothetical connotation, of being "super sea based". That is to say, "Ultra" "Marine".
