Blue Bow Ties

The History of the Color Blue

Historically, the color blue was very unique because it wasn’t seen in nature as much as greens or yellows. Blue is now considered a very standard color base, yet the word “blue” didn’t even exist in Greek times. Close to 6,000 years ago is when humans began to develop blue colorants from lapis, a precious stone. Lapis is a big contributor to the history of the color. It originated in Afghanistan and was traded in Egypt. The bright blue color of the mineral is what attracted the Egyptians. Lapis was combined with other ingredients, such as calcium and limestone and eventually produced various blue pigments. This is when the Egyptian word for "blue” was created.

The Meaning of Blue

There are deeper and more psychological meanings behind everything, even colors. Through its many shades, blue is known to have an impact on mood and emotion as well as aesthetic. If you took businesses in consideration, blue is utilized in logos and designs because they are proven to be serene and visually appealing. Many people associate feelings of calmness and peacefulness with the color blue. This is likely because we can easily imagine an open and endless clear blue sky or the pure waters of the ocean.

It is safe to say that colors have a tremendous impact on our clothing decisions. Color scheme personalities exist to help describe people and even the choices that they make in fashion. If your favorite color were blue, it could suggest that you are conservative and trusting of others. Blue is one of the most popular of colors, especially being a number one pick when it comes to men. Perhaps a contribution to this trend is because blue is seen as the most masculine color, aside from black. In addition to bringing on feelings of strength and serenity, blue can be a symbol of creativity. We hope a gentleman feels he is both himself and one-of-a-kind when wearing a blue R. Hanauer bow tie.
