Eclat de Saphir (Sapphire Blue): sapphire is a gemstone. The terminology probably comes from 2 origins: the Greek with "sappheiros" (a stone of blue colour) or from the Hebrew "sappir" (the most beautiful thing). This colour is a reminder of Jacques Herbin and his work at the most prestigious royal courts of Europe.
