Fabrics and Rugs Color of the Year by Pantone.
The Egyptians have been credited with the creation of the color blue. They used the color blue in arts and textiles. The color blue represents what exactly?
"Conversely blue is a symbol of the working classes, the "blue-collar" worker. Blue correlates to ideas of tradition, loyalty, trust, economic and business security, excellence, and high performance. Think of the terms "true blue", "blue chip" or "blue ribbon". It can also be a colour of power and authority, uniforms and service."
Now, for those of us who follow Pantone every year for Color Inspiration, this year there is an underlying agenda. I don't usually pop into the circle of politics, but Pantone has underhandedly used language and the Color of the Year to play phycological mind games with the public. Please read the quote by the Ex. Dir. below:"Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era."- Pantone 2020
"People have treasured gems for many reasons throughout history. Some of these reasons include the use of gems as beautiful decorative ornaments, religious symbols, and amulets and good-luck charms. Gems have also been used for barter and medicinal purposes. Gems have even been used as investments by some people. For others, gems have been used to display wealth, status, and power." -Ancient History of the Gemstone
"Sapphires are a Precious Gemstone. They range in color from colorless to blue, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green, and red (Ruby). They come in every color of the rainbow. Sapphires can be expensive to moderate in price and the purer the color, the more expensive the stone. They can be set into any type of jewelry piece and Princess Diana's Engagement Ring, that now belongs to Princess Kate, is a stunning 12carat oval-shaped blue Ceylon sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds and set in 18carat white gold."
Blue hues in paint have been around since Egyptian times when the blue was dirived from a copper compound an prised for it's pure blue color.
