Short notes on the colour blue
I had no idea that in lots of films they will deliberately dress a weak character in pale blue so the audience senses that. Interesting stuff!
Blue
·
Pale blue is passivity and powerlessness. It is
also associated with the ambiguous. In a blue environment, people become
passive and introspective. A colour to think but not act (Hamlet). Story about
a Notre Dame football coach who painted the visitors locker room blue and his
own team’s red to fire them up. Won every home game season after season.
·
Some days are pale blue grey when you don’t feel
like doing anything. Perfect colour choice for a character who is about to
change from passive to active.
·
Steel blue and dark indigo are the colours most
associated with intellect and least associated with sensual.
·
Blue-green/turquoise inspires openness and
interaction – people lose track of time – perfect for friends having fun when
they make a connection
·
Blues are statically people’s favourite colour,
because people think of it in different ways. It is important to test blues on
your audience.
·
Bright and bold blue (royal blue) can denote
power
·
When we see horrible actions take place in a
blue atmosphere, we can identify with the helplessness of the victims
