From Ovid's Metamorphoses:
"[Theseus] entered the dark building, made of spongy pumice, and rough tufa. The floor was moist with soft moss, and the ceiling banded with freshwater mussel and oyster shells."
Mussels are bluish. Oyster shells whitish.
Not necessarily connected, but interesting in that many of the VMS textural patterns alternate in blue and unpainted.
