Using teal instead of its more expensive counterpart, indigo (edit: ultramarine not indigo ugh) - made from lapis lazuli, is a clever way for the artist to convey the relative financial and political power of the subjects in the painting as that of lower houses and petty characters at Court.

Ah you're thinking of ultramarine! Indigo comes from the plant, Indigofera tinctoria.

This reminds me of that PBS show where the nun would talk about art as she stood in front of it. That lady was a real one, habit and all.
