Blue is a trustworthy colour. 
It’s soothing, intellectual and orderly. It is the colour of the sky and sea and this can lead people to enter a contemplative mood. 

Just like the ocean can either calm us with an endless horizon or threaten us with a dark cold thunderstorm, blue can do just the same. Darker hues are usually associated with gloominess or sophistication while brighter ones take us to quiet mediterranean paradises. 

A big number of artists, Yves Klein for example (who went as far as patenting his own blue), have expressed their preference for it. 
Its pigments are charged with history. Ultramarine blue, or “true blue”, made from the gemstone Lapis Lazuli, was once the most sought after colour in medieval Europe. The gemstone’s price  skyrocketed as high as gold and its pigment was reserved for the highest-budget paintings and their most important parts, such as Virgin Mary’s blue veil. Prussian blue, on the other hand, was accidentaly discovered by mixing the pigments of cochineal insects with blood.
From Picasso’s blue period to Hokusai’s Great Wave, this pigment has travelled through some of the most important pieces of art history.

Today we selected five projects that include this iconic colour in their unique interiors. Can you sense the different types of energy that each different design emits?
