Use

Potassium ferrocyanide yellow is primarily used by our customers for making blueprints. Potassium ferrocyanide red can also be used for this purpose; both produce a slightly different shade of blue.

In experiments, it is used, among other things, to detect iron compounds. This produces a blue color. This same blue color is obtained when used to make pigments, such as Berlin blue.
