Blue ranks so high as a favourite colour that you can’t go wrong if you use blue. However, blue can be over-used and may wind up a design cliché if used alone. Combining blue with another colour creates a more creative effect. It is cold, wet, and slow as compared to red’s warmth, fire, and intensity.
Blue is the #1 favorite color of all people.
Blue has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other colour. These can be easily explained by pinpointing by the specific shade of blue:
Dark blue: trust, dignity, intelligence, authority
Bright blue: cleanliness, strength, dependability, coolness (The origin of these meanings arise from the qualities of the ocean and inland waters, most of which are more tangible)
Light (sky) blue: peace, serenity, ethereal, spiritual, infinity (The origin of these meanings is the intangible aspects of the sky)
Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding

Supposing the colour blue was removed from the world, specifically the sea and sky ... what colour would fill the void?
