There is a movie that our family has enjoyed watching more than once where there is a very funny scene. In order to cross a bridge, you have to answer correctly three questions. One of the questions is “What’s your favorite color?” The humor in the movie is that one of the knights says “blue” because he heard the knight before him say that. But then he changes his answer to “yellow” and is thrown off the bridge.

My favorite color is blue.

You may already know that blue is one of the three primary colors, but did you know:

  • A blue room increases work production.
  • The deeper shades of blues specifically will induce calm and peace within us
  • It is the least common color of foods that we eat (are blue berries blue or purple?)
  • Only 8% of people have blue eyes.
  • It is the most popular color when surveys have been done.

(Above is according to Google.)

This article goes on to state an interesting fact about blue saying: “Blue is the most loved color by humans being preferred by more than 35% of world’s population…surprising because blue also happens to be the rarest occurring natural color.”

As we look at the ideas surrounding beauty, color is something that we all have an opinion on. As I said, my favorite color is blue. So if I am looking at something or someone, should they be wearing blue or have blue eyes or be standing near blue, my opinion may be swayed just because of my love of blue.

Now I want you to remember what we’ve been talking about with word association and meaning. (See previous posts.) As I talk about ‘blue’, you likely have a shade or two in your mind that you are ‘seeing’. And this is again my point. My blue in my mind could be the color of the ocean on a clear day. Or perhaps it is the blue of a hydrangea flower. And which of us is correct in saying which is the most beautiful?

Until next time, your task is to take note of when you see something that you say is beautiful and see if there is a color aspect to your determining it’s beauty. Click on the Comment Box below and share what you discovered.
