The colour blue is the colour of trust and responsibility

This colour is one of trust, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and quiet, and

doesn't like to make a fuss or draw attention. It hates confrontation, and likes to do

things in its own way.

From a colour psychology perspective, blue is reliable and responsible.

This colour exhibits an inner security and confidence.

You can rely on it to take control and do the right thing in difficult times.

It has a need for order and direction in its life, including its living and work spaces.

This is a colour that seeks peace and tranquillity above everything else, promoting

both physical and mental relaxation.

It reduces stress, creating a sense of calmness, relaxation and order - we certainly

feel a sense of calm if we lie on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky.

It slows the metabolism. The paler the blue the more freedom we feel.

In the meaning of colours, blue relates to one-to-one communication, especially

communication using the voice - speaking the truth through verbal self-expression -

it is the teacher, the public speaker.

The colour blue is idealistic, enhancing self-expression and our ability to

communicate our needs and wants. It inspires higher ideals.

Blue's wisdom comes from its higher level of intelligence, a spiritual perspective.

Blue is the colour of the spirit, devotion and religious study. It enhances

contemplation and prayer. On the other hand, blue's devotion can be to any cause

or concept it believes in, including devotion to family or work.

Blue is the helper, the rescuer, the friend in need. It's success is defined by the

quality and quantity of its relationships. It is a giver, not a taker. It likes to build

strong trusting relationships and becomes deeply hurt if that trust is betrayed.

Blue is conservative and predictable, a safe and non-threatening colour, and the

most universally liked colour of all, probably because it is safe and non-threatening.

At the same time blue is persistent and determined to succeed in whichever

endeavours it pursues.

Change is difficult for blue. It is inflexible and when faced with a new or different

idea, it considers it, analyzes it, thinks it over slowly and then tries to make it fit its

own acceptable version of reality.

Blue is nostalgic. It is a colour that lives in the past, relating everything in the

present and the future to experiences in the past.

If blue is your favourite colour, it will reflect in your personality! Personality colour
