Depending on how you use it, blue is either a noun or an adjective. For instance:
"Blue is my favourite colour." (noun)
"I like your use of blue in your painting" (noun)
"The blue car is my favourite" (adjective)
"You take the red one, and I'll take the blue." (adjective)

a noun is a person, place or thing. Since blue is describing something, it is an adjective. The only time blue can be a noun is if it is used as a name. And then you would capitalize the letter. ex: The name of the club is Blue.

Yes, it is a noun...
Noun; A person, Place, or thing
Blue is a color and a color is a thing so i am pretty sure it would be a noun

Yes, 'blue' can be a noun. As in 'Blue is a great colour for this room.'
It can also be an adjective as in 'I'm wearing a blue dress.'

It'd be an adjective, since you use it to describe nouns.
