Blue is the most popular favourite colour in the western world.
Blue seems to be all around us -- in water, in sky -- but in nature it is elusive and ephemeral
and few concrete examples exist: lapis lazuli is one that comes to mind; a robin's egg is
another.
Blue fills many roles. It is calming, serene, refreshing, restful, soothing, nautical, rich,
sophisticated, and the darkest of blues, navy, is dramatic, timeless, and sexy.
Blue walls -- dark ones -- have been making a statement in interior design the last couple of
years; dark blue fabrics, upholstered pieces and accessories are slated to be popular next
year.
Blue, in fashion, is a seasonless colour, and after black, it is regarded as the most accepted
sartorial choice.
So, if you're feeling the love and in the mood for something blue (like me), here are some options...
