Classic Blue
The Enduring Hue
“Instilling calm, confidence and connection , this enduring hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold of a new era”
Having a deep connection to our psyche as a restful colour,Classic Blue induces calm and tranquility in order to help us concentrate.The deepness of the hue is evocative of the vastness of an evening sky, encouraging you to look beyond your normal way of thinking and increase awareness. Consider the idiom "blue sky thinking".
However my feelings towards this colour are torn. This particular shade of blue can also trigger ideas of uniformity and business... perhaps as my school uniform was a very similar shade! If I glance at my Macbook desktop, nine of my dock icons are a vivid blue and even the default desktop background is sand dunes made up of dark blues. Which all of course lead my associations of this tone to work, apps and devices, which are not the most calming of thoughts. Furthermore, the back light most of our devices give off is a cold blue light which seems so harsh when the laptop or phone is put away and you are left with something warmer, either from daylight or an ambient lamp. But perhaps my aversion to this particular colour says more about how much time most of us spend around the modern negative connotations of blue rather than in it's natural state of the sea and skies.
Having searched through inspirational images and products associated with the inky hue, my feelings towards the shade have lifted slightly. Perhaps whats important is how the colour is used and what you pair with it.
Below I have shared with you some of my favourite references that I will be sure to use in a mood board or two. Showcasing how Classic Blue can create serenity in the home. It can also be paired with most other colours , so no need to completely overhaul your chosen space. Enjoy!
