Is your favourite colour blue? Do you choose blue over every other colour? This is why. Ya basic.

RED FOR LIFE FIRE NATION REPRESENT.

Blue is associated with nobility. The ancient Egyptians produced what is known as Egyptian Blue 1 (or cuprorivaite), using it in jewellery, ceramics, statues and even in the tomb of the great pharaohs. Thus, the colour became associated with royalty, and imbued with a sense of prestige and class. Fancy.

For the longest time, the only way to produce the colour blue was by scraping the pigments from the Lapis Lazuli gemstone 1, which was rare at the time

Imagine that. Blue used to be only for rich people. And now it’s viewed as basic and boring. Haha jk. Over time, blue has evolved and is now considered as one of the most popular colours.

A recent survey conducted by AkzoNobel found 21% of respondents choosing the colour blue as their preferred choice, stating it as a colour that gives them most pleasure “because we believe the colour reminds us of the sky and water” lol.

It has been scientifically proven that the colour blue helps to invoke feelings of calmness or serenity, and is often associated with tranquility and a sense of security.

The results from the survey also indicate that blue is one of the main colours that help enhance your mood

This is most likely why the colour blue is recommended in high anxiety and stressful locations like the office. Another use for the colour blue is in the living room. This is where families usually spend a lot of time together and blue helps to set the mood for casual conversations, which can help strengthen familial bonds.

Blue is also versatile and works well with other colours such as white, grey and green. The colour itself has 24 different shades, giving you a wealth of options to choose from.

White and blue

White and blue is a classic blend. Some items, such as pottery, have been found
painted in this combination, from ancient Chinese patterns to 18th century Slavic designs.

These two colours are still widely used by renown decorators today.

Even darker shades such as Navy-blue can be matched with white in order to make a smaller room more spacious; colour combinations such as this can add boldness to your living space.

Grey and blue

Due to the similarity of the colour range, the combination of grey and blue is comfortable to be in. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxing, while giving a solemn yet elegant feel.

By choosing light colours for the room, you will have a great atmosphere to
relax and recuperate.

Green and blue

The combination of blue and green shades makes the room vibrant, harmonious and gives it depth. This bright or muffled tandem will look good.

Blue and blue

By combining different shades of blue, you will find yourself with a room that is spacious and calming. Add warm brown tones for extra fanciness. The combination helps reduce the intensity and soften the colder shades of blue.

Studies show that the colour blue helps enhances creativity, and is a great
environment for your child’s growth.
