COLOUR OBSESSIONS ~ Once in a BLUE moon ...


blue, bleu, blu ~ a natural color, from the blue of the sky, blue is a universal color. the cool, calming effect of blue makes time pass more quickly and it can help you sleep making it a beautiful choice for bedrooms. however, too much blue could also dampen spirits.




in using blues, a deep royal blue or azure conveys richness and perhaps even a touch of
superiority. navy blue is almost black and is a bit warmer than lighter blues. combine a light
and dark blue to convey trust and truthfulness — think banker's colors.
although blue is a year-round color, pastel blues, especially along with pinks and
pale yellows suggest springtime while
deep blue is a colder weather color. sreate a conservative but sophisticated look with subtle
contrast by combining light and dark shades of blue.


light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.
 



variations of blue include:

denim blue


tiffany blue



navy blue is a very dark blue reminisant to black





bondi blue, a color belonging to the cyan family of blues … think crayola color blue-green
