blue

I’m biased. It’s my personal fave. And it’s deep in so many ways. It’s a very well-meaning and attractive color. It complements just about everything without domineering. An attractive lady or man who carefully escorts the more rambunctious colors, guiding them through their mistakes.

Careful, although blue is a very calming color, the visible spectrum becomes more energetic with blue’s entry. Lightwaves start speeding up, their amplitudes heighten and troughs deepen. Things are starting to get intense.

All this technical talk means nothing to Blue. It is regal and rare. It is very rare in nature with only a few truly rare organisms that are actually Blue — the others use prismatic shading and other tricks of the eye to seem blue. It’s so rare in nature that in the Medieval Ages:

During the Renaissance, painters reserved the use of deep blue for the colour of The Virgin Mary’s clothing to symbolize her importance.  And even during Shakespeare’s time, the colour of your clothing denoted your position in society.  Blue fabrics showed you ranked high up in society. Perhaps an explanation for the term used to describe royalty as blue bloods?
