The Power of the Color Blue !

  • blue is the color of sky and water and suggests cleanliness and freshness
  • blue invokes dreamlike states, it instills yearnings and has a calming effect
  • blue is the color of the heart and has a positive connotation
  • blue flowers are a popular motif of romantic poetry

Some positive association with the color blue:

  • true blue - someone loyal and faithful
  • out of the blue - unexpected (could be positive or negative) blue ribbon - first rate, top prize
  • blue-blooded - person of noble birth, royalty
  • ... and by the way, the color blue is also being used as an appetite suppressant ;-)

Almost everyone likes some shade of the color blue .... but Blue can also stand for:

  • feeling blue - feeling sad or depressed
  • the blues (not capitalized) - depression, state of sadness
  • into the blue - entering the unknown or escape to parts unknown
  • out of the blue - unexpected (could be positive or negative)

Is Blue your favorite color too?


Regards, Gerry
