Blue is my favourite colour. It is a colour with so much meaning and I love many of its shades and tints.
Blue is any of a number of similar colors. When it is a pure color from a single source, it corresponds with a wavelength range of about 420–490 nanometers. It is considered to be one of the three primary additive colors in RGB system; blue light has the shortest wavelength range of the three additive primary colors. The English language commonly uses "blue" to refer to any color from navy blue to cyan.
Symbolism and expressions
Picasso's Self-portrait with Cloak (1901)Blue often denotes injury, such as in the phrase "black and blue," since it is the color of a bruise. Blue is used also as a word to denote a sad or melancholy state, as in depression, or simply a state of deep contemplation (however, the phrase "blue skies," referring to sunny weather, implies cheerfulness). Symbolically, blue is associated with that state, such as the term blue period to describe Pablo Picasso's work from 1901 to 1904.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is generally depicted wearing blue.
Blue is associated with water; on coloured maps, oceans, lakes, and streams often appear blue.
Blue is associated with France. The term Les Bleus is often used in a sporting context. In all but motor sports, Italian color is light blue, and Italian athletes are called Azzurri.
Blue is considered a calming, soothing colour, perhaps related to its association with water and to the sky.
Blue has the connotation of conservatism, tradition, and stability, in contrast with red which seems more radical, which is probably why blue is used more by conservative parties. Paradoxically, the more liberal U.S. Democratic Party has recently become associated with the color blue, whereas red has become associated with the conservative Republican Party. This shift occurred in the 2000 Presidential election in which states which leaned toward Al Gore were colored blue by the major news networks and those that leaned towards George W. Bush were colored red. Why the United States runs contrary to the rest of the world on this matter is unknown, but it is sometimes attributed by liberals to the Republican Party's desire to appear to be the party of "red-blooded Americans", leaving the other "American" color, blue, to the Democrats. Alternatively, some claim that liberals desired to dissociate themselves from a color still seen by many Americans as a symbol of communism. This standardization is relatively recent: many older reference works, such as The Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress, had used blue to represent Republicans and red to represent Democrats, as did some media outlets. Time magazine, which used blue for Republicans and red for Democrats as late as the 2002 Congressional elections but switched to the more prevalent system for the 2004 presidential election, was probably the last major media outlet to adhere to the old color scheme.
Blue is often a colour used to symbolise honesty and trustworthiness. Hence it is used by mortgage companies and banks, as well as the clothing of businesspeople.
Blue sky is a term used to describe the ability to conceptualize or create something from nothing. In other words, ex nihilo. It is a term that can describe a person, i.e. She's an amazing blue sky business analyst. It can also be used to illustrate constraints, i.e. You cannot work from a blue sky angle as there are limitations to what can be done for this project.
In old Australian slang, a "blue" can also describe a fight or an argument. Men with red hair may be nicknamed "Bluey". The phrase "true blue" also means "genuine" (example : "He's a true blue Aussie").
