THE "BLUE, RED AND PURPLE" SERIES 2: IT'S ALL ABOUT BLUE!!!

THE 

"BLUE,

RED, 

& PURPLE"

 SERIES 2:

IT'S ALL 

ABOUT

BLUE!!!


Hi folks,

Trust you are all doing great.

It's a special weekend as we celebrate women all over the world. Shout out to all the amazing moms, wives, sisters, female leaders, colleagues and friends that make life meaningful for all. You are highly appreciated ♀️ πŸ’ƒπŸ‘

After a long break from colours, last weekend I launched a series titled "Blue, Red and Purple", with an objective to explore the world of colours, with spotlight on the three mix of colours that makes up the title.

Today is all about blue and I will be addressing the subject matter from the 3 points of view, namely:

πŸ”΅ The general meaning and associations of blue

πŸ”΅ The effect of colour blue on spaces

πŸ”΅ And then, my take on color blue

I'm quite confident you will find every slide on this post insightful, and hereby request that you follow through to the end.

Let's get going πŸ‘‡


#1:

MEANINGS

&

 ASSOCIATIONS

 

Translated "AZUL" in Spanish and "AZRAQ" in Arabic, colour blue simply connotes Calmness and Serenity. 

Blue is frequently linked to feelings of Tranquility and Relaxation, which explains why brands in the hospitality industry almost always inculcate a shade of blue in their imagery.

Also, trust and reliability is strongly associated with colour blue, and this is largely responsible for the interest that financial institutions have in this phenomenal colour.

If you are wondering why schools are big on blue, it's simply because blue is known to potray Wisdom, Intelligence, Knowledge, Insight, and Intellect.

I mean I can go on to talk about blue and it's significance with Religion, Culture, Royalty and so on, but for want of time and space.


#2:

BLUE &

YOUR 

SPACE 

If I am asked what make colour blue special for spaces?, my direct answer would be VARIETY

🩡 Lighter shades of blues can reflect light, making a room appear larger and more open.

πŸ”΅ Deeper shades of blues can enhance focus, making them suitable for workspaces or study areas. 

And more interestingly, combining both light and dark shades of blues creates a visual appeal than any other colour would (arguably so), in a monochromatic scene like the one in the image attached to this slide.

Just be sure you avoid overusing blue, as it applies to a case of abuse with every other thing in life.


#3:

BLUE 

& ME

Besides BLUEY being my favourite cartoon πŸ˜‚ (don't judge me), I personally attach color blue to establishment and stability.

Taking a look at the shades of blues portrayed by the skies and the seas, side by side how stable and immovable they have been since creation, just reignites my love for blue.

On another end, I'm always thrilled to see symbols of stability like the Commonwealth Wealth Blue Ensign (Australian flag), the Union Jack (British flag), the Stars And Stripes (American flag) and their affiliations with colour blue. 

Just give it a deeper thought and you would realise my claims are beyond coincidences.

And by the way, as blue is to stability, so is my commitment to helping you make the best of your space.

I'm just a click away from your next project πŸ‘‡

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£οΈ/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
