Psychology

In its darkest registers blue becomes serious and introspective: trustworthy, professional, slightly austere.

History

In Japanese aesthetics, blue — particularly indigo — has been a central colour for centuries: the slow-dyed textiles of Tokushima remain prized for their depth and permanence.

Design use
