Apparently, blue is the nation’s favourite colour! What do you think? I will be conducting a future poll to find out what all of your favourite colours are and shall compare results!
I do love a bit of blue, but it depends on how it is used in a scheme. To stop it feeling cold it should be paired with neutral warm colours like cream and natural golds or brown. Blue is meant to be associated with clarity of thought, serenity and reflection, I suppose because of its association with the sky and sea.
