07、蓝色
蓝色是全世界最受欢迎的颜色。蓝也常让人联想到智慧与权力。许多制服是蓝色的。在希腊、罗马神话中，蓝是天空诸神的颜色。在《旧约》中，深蓝色代表上帝。伊斯兰教喜欢用蓝和青绿色。世界各地的清真寺都用蓝色。蓝色象征真理、和平和合作。它也是联合国和欧洲旗帜的主色。
作为光谱中最冷的色调，蓝具有开扬效果。蓝色充盈在我们四周，天空是蓝的，水是蓝的，蓝色令人心平气和、神清气爽。蓝色的光可以镇静神经系统，降低血压，放松身心。蓝色能创造出宽敞、清凉的空间。它能增加房间的空间感。
误用蓝色则会令人不适。如果没有暖色相配，蓝色会显得冰冷而乏味。蓝色的卧室令人放松。蓝色的卫生间与水相衬恰如其分。和绿色、红色配在一起，蓝色显得深藏不露。浅蓝能带来宁静之感，使我们得以抛开一天的忙碌与操劳。
深蓝是夜空的颜色，令人清醒。房间所用的蓝色越深，就越能让人感到放松。蓝有明显的镇定作用，绝对是装饰你居室中安静休养的地方的最适合颜色。CE
