Colour Blue has always been my favourite colour. I am in good company as blue is among the most well-liked colours. It is the least gender-specific, having equal appeal to both men and women. Blue can affect us physically. It calms and sedates, cools and aids intuition.
Blue, the colour of the sky and the ocean, is often perceived as a constant in our lives. Research reveals that blue can reduce your pulse and respiration rate and temporarily lowers your blood pressure. Blue is viewed as trustworthy, dependable, and committed. n many cultures, blue plays a role in religious beliefs, brings peace, and is believed to keep evil spirits away.
