Blue
The color blue has been associated with just about every fashion trend in history. From Chinese blue-and-white porcelain to Levi's jeans, there is no denying its presence in
our culture. It signifies constancy, and its versatility makes it perennially popular. It can be bright or sedate, traditional or ultramodern, classic or trendy.
Blue's richness almost guarantees a compelling interior, whether on a small or large scale. In a warm climate, such as the South, blue's softer shades are used to cool a room. Where warmer shades are preferred, greener blues are more desirable. Blue often appears in bedrooms and nurseries (it's not just for boys) and as a pale color in living rooms.
