All You Have to Know About Blue Color

When we talk about the color blue, we need to distinguish between at least two scenarios.

Light blue easily reminds people of the vast sea and sky, representing hope and ideals, while dark blue represents stability, order, character, and a sense of responsibility. This is one reason many brands choose blue as their brand color, such as IBM.

Blue also represents integrity and loyalty. For decades, financial institutions and large corporations have insisted on using blue in their brand visual systems because it evokes stability and strength.

Blue makes people feel rich and calm, and it is also a very popular color in interior design. In California summers, light blue decorations make the season feel more atmospheric. We can find bedroom paint with blue very often; it is because blue has the energy to make people feel calm.

The blue used in Chinese blue-and-white porcelain is called cobalt blue, a vessel color favored by ancient Chinese emperors since the Ming Dynasty. It is still very popular in China today, and blue-and-white porcelain vases of excellent quality can be extremely expensive.
