One of my favourite colours is blue. Many things in life are the colour of blue such as the sky and the deep sea and even gemstones. On the optical spectrum, blue is located in between violet and green. There are many shades of blue ranging from dark blue to light blue. There are even beautiful shades of blue mixed with green that create the colour turquoise and aquamarine. Blue is one of my favourite colours because it has a calming effect and reminds me of days where we can relax by the beach staring at the blue sea and cloudless sky.Blue promotes the feeling of tranquility and quiteness, encouraging physical and mental relaxation ( The Colour Blue, n.d.).Blue represents a lot of things from a psychological perspective. For instance, blue can represent authority: a darker shade of blue would represent more authority ( The COlor Blue, n.d.). Blue also can mean peace and calm and it can induce the feeling of calmness within us  by reminding us of peaceful still waters in a lake or the rhythm of water running through a stream. Blue is often used whenever we want to induce an environment of calmness and peace. The colour blue has a very therapeutic feeling.On top of that, the colour blue is also often associated with honesty and loyalty.
