Blew, Baloo, Blue

Did you know that the color of blue creates feelings of: Protection, security, Order, peace, and Trust? Why do you think banks often go with the color blue...CHASE and Bank of America.

So Id been thinking about incorporating blue somewhere my future home. Now there are many different shades of blue and different ways to use them and different rooms to do that in. So heres what I gathered to help me: (from realsimple mag)

" Did you know there are "cool blues" and "warm blues"?

• "Warm" represented by- Denim - Ocean Blue - Slate Blue(gray/blue)


• "Cool" represented by - cobalt - turquoise - ice blue(like baby blue)

Warm blues contain hints of red. Color experts say they advance, or come toward you, so they help make a room feel cozier. Decorators often like warm blues in social spaces, like the living room, Kitchen, or Dining room.

Cool blues contain yellow in them and tend to recede, or back away, which can help a small space look bigger. Color experts explain that cool blues encourage calmness and focus(good for office). Sometimes cool blues can go a little further and be cold. But in a bathroom, where you want a crisp, clean vibe, that can be a good thing. "
