Blue is a Primary Color

Blue is a primary color in our society. In the RGB (red green blue) color system, it shares the spotlight with red and green. Being a primary color means that it can be mixed with other colors to make new ones. With colored light, Blue and Green make Cyan and Blue and Red make Pink or Magenta. Computer screens and TVs mix Blue, Red and Green pixels to create millions of colors.

Blue Nature

Blue abounds in nature. People have worn blue clothes and painted with blue paint for centuries because of blue pigment. A pigment is an insoluble substance that works in liquid as a paint or ink. Organic blue pigments include copper and indanthrone. Inorganic blue pigments include cobalt blue, prussian blue, and ultramarine.
