Blue: calm, relaxing, the ocean.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Cool<\/p>\n

Blue is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cool\u00e2\u20ac\u009d color; generally cool to the touch. We go to the beach, and we enjoy the blue skies, and the blue water. My theory is that we love the color blue as human beings, because we need water to survive.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about studying the color blue is that the shade of blue comes in an infinite variety. All the blue photos of mine which I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve found come in all intensities of blue; the next series of photos I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153aqua-marine\/turquoise\u00e2\u20ac\u009d color\u00e2\u20ac\u201d which actually looks different from blue.<\/p>\n

Blue and orange, complementary and contrasting colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Note that the color and shade\/tone of blue changes depending on the color next to it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered the most intense contrast with blue is the color orange. <\/strong><\/p>\n
