Blue

Blue is a color hue evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 450–495 nanometers. It is a primary color in the RGB color model (used for screens) and a primary pigment in traditional painting. It is the color of the clear sky and the deep sea, making it one of the most ubiquitous colors in human experience.

In aesthetics, blue is the ultimate "cool" color. It spans a massive emotional range: from the soothing tranquility of the sky (Dreamcore) to the sterile melancholic isolation of a hospital hallway (Medicalcore). It is also the standard color for authority, corporate stability, and technology (Abstract Tech).
