Blue Abstract Art for Your Walls
Blue, the most glorious of colors. It makes up the oceans and sky, yet aside from those, blue rarely occurs in nature. Across many cultures, it was the last color to be named and documented. The definition of the word blue according to the dictionary:
Blue
N.
“1. The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between green and indigo, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 420 to 490 nanometers; any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation, whose hue is that of a clear daytime sky; one of the additive or light primaries; one of the psychological primary hues.”
Our only reference even in the definition, is the sky. Blue water is just the reflection of the sky. This hue is rarely found elsewhere.

We are drawn to blue because….it is stable. When you add black or white to blue it remains blue. It is the sky reflecting onto water. Water being our most important resource. Water is our life force when we strip away the frills. Blue is trust. When someone is reliable, we say they are ‘true blue’.
