The blue paint that the Celts are often associated with is called "woad." Woad is derived from the leaves of the plant Isatis tinctoria and was used to create a blue dye. Celts reportedly applied it to their skin for both decorative and possibly ritualistic purposes, particularly in battle, to intimidate their enemies.
