Abstract

Colour is a significant visual language that influences human emotions, behaviors, and psychological states. Among various colours, blue stands out for its profound impact on mood, serving as both a calming presence and a source of melancholy. This paper explores the psychological, cultural, and artistic dimensions of blue, analyzing its emotional effects across diverse contexts. Through studies in colour psychology, artistic applications, and cultural symbolism, blue is shown to evoke tranquility and introspection, shaping its role in art, design, and emotional well-being. The findings highlight the complex interplay between blue’s visual properties and its emotional resonance, offering insights into its application in psychological and creative practices.
