Visuddhimagga V-32

Nīlakasiṇavasena nīlarūpanimmānaṃ, andhakārakaraṇaṃ, suvaṇṇadubbaṇṇanayena abhibhāyatanapaṭilābho, subhavimokkhādhigamoti evamādīni ijjhanti.

依于「青遍」，能变化青色，作诸黑暗，依于妙色及丑色的方法而获得（第三）胜处，证净解脱，有此等成就。

Ñ(V,32): The blue kasiṇa is the basis for such powers as creating black forms, causing darkness, acquisition of the bases of mastery by the method of fairness and ugliness, and attainment of the liberation by the beautiful (see M.ii,12).
