Blue is the color of the Earth's sky and sea. Earth looks blue when seen from outer space by astronauts.
It is the color of cold, introversion and openness, by opposition to the red, which is the color of warm, extroversion and the closure. In alchemy, blue is also the color of the warm introvert (blue fire), by opposition to the red, which is the color of the warm extrovert (red fire).
Blue is usually associated with masculinity, harmony, conservatism, liberalism, the cold, sadness, calmness and royalty.
The color blue is sometimes associated with sadness, which may be where the name of the music style The Blues comes from. Blue is a color of the Jewish religion. In Western cultures since the 1940s, blue is associated with men/boys, while pink is associated with women/girls. Before the 1940s, it was the other way around in some countries, so blue was for women/girls and pink was for men/boys. Nobody knows exactly why it changed.[1][2]
