Blue is a cool colour, and I mean that in all senses of the word cool. It is considered a cool shade (along with green and light purple) and it's proven to be a calming colour. It symbolizes stability, loyalty, confidence, intelligence and peace. If blue is your favourite colour, you are in good company -- it's the #1 most popular colour in the world, and my personal favourite. Is blue a favourite colour of yours?
