When I can’t conjure up a blog post title, I usually ask a question. Here it goes. Why do we love the color blue?
Most of you know, since I work full-time as a pharmaceutical sales specialist, I devote my spare time to one weekly blog post. On occasion, I do link-ups. Today, one of those days called Friday with Friends. I’m highlighting blogger friend, Tania Stephen a Tennesee girl living in Virginia with her husband of 33 years. Tania’s also a Mom and proud grandmother.
Sorry, I digress, back to the love of the color blue. Before the Pantone Institute declared Cerulean blue as the 2000 color of the year, there was the ancient culture of the Egyptians.
The Egyptian color blue pigments, originally made from minerals such as lapis lazuli, cobalt, and azurite. Also, blue dyes from plants symbolizing fertility, birth, rebirth, life, and the afterlife.
Color in ancient Egypt used not only in realistic representations of scenes from every life but to illustrate the heavenly realms of the gods, the afterlife, and the stories and histories of the deities of the Egyptian pantheon.
Why do we love the color blue? It’s nature’s color for the sapphire blue sky and the soothing sea. Me, I find the tone uplifting.
