Third-grader's bill makes indigo blue the official state color
|
|
|
|
Nine-year-old Lauren Cunningham of Lexington had the idea for the bill when she read a book of state symbols and saw that the state didn't have a color.
She says she picked indigo blue for three reasons: indigo was an important cash crop in South Carolina in the late 1700s and early 1800s; it was the color of the uniforms of South Carolina soldiers in the 1770s during the Revolutionary War; and it's the color of the background of the state flag.
