Cyanotype is a photographic technique that creates images in shades of blue, commonly known as blueprints. It involves coating a surface with a mixture of two chemicals, typically ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. When exposed to UV light and then washed in water, the process produces white images on a deep blue background.
