260 Types of Blue Color

 , September 02, 2018 updated on December 03, 2019
Blue is a primary color that can be combined with red and green to make all other colors. The eye perceives short wavelengths of light between 450 and 495 nanometres as different hues of blue. This makes much of nature blue including the sky and ocean due to an effect known as Rayleigh scattering whereby small particles reflect shortwave lengths of blue light better than long wavelengths such as red. For this reason, distance objects look more blue than they do close up. Due to its association with water and sky, blue is perceived as a cool color. Blue is also historically associated with harmony, masculinity, sadness, calm and concentration. Blue dyes and paints were historically late to emerge and were very expensive when they did first appear. Perhaps for this reason, blue historically represents authority, royalty and high social status. The following are common hues, shades, tints and tinges of blue.
