There is an in-depth investigation about blue:

Although my jewelry collection this time will all be presented in blue, I don't want the viewer to get aesthetic fatigue, so I have investigated the colour blue thoroughly, thus making each of my pieces both uniform and different.

Blue is not really a single colour, it can be combined with various colours to reach a new blue colour.

And here are the different blues: Blue mixed with red (purple):













Blue mixed with yellow(green):

Each different blue colour gives a different feeling - calm, cold, wide - and each of these feelings can correspond to a natural thing. Just like whenever I see a dark blue ocean it gives me a feeling of expansiveness, while a light blue glacier makes me feel cold. Therefore, blue and nature are connected by a feeling as a link.

What are the natural scenes in so much blue? I investigated this.

And after investigation I found that a natural scenery actually covers many kinds of blue, only because some of the blue occupies most of the natural things, which causes when we think of one of the scenery, only one representative blue appears in our mind. At the same time, natural scenes are affected by time of day, weather and other factors, so that even the same natural thing can appear in different blues.

Deep ocean:

Cold: Iceberg(snow):

Sky:

Starry sky/universe:

Each natural thing is made up of a variety of blues, so I tried to pick five blues for each natural thing that better represent them in their own right.

In addition to colour, each natural feature has its own characteristics (patterns), and these characteristics can also help us better identify different natural features.


Surface of the ocean:

Waves, drops, fluctuating water, sunlight shining on the water…

Deep ocean:

Coral, rocks, beams of light, holes, bubbles…

Cold: Iceberg(snow):

Snowflakes, icicles, snow-capped mountains, ice, split ice…

Sky:

Clouds and light beams

Starry sky/universe:

Milky Way, stars, moon, clouds, aurora borealis, shooting stars…

You put so many types of blue😮!!! I like blue too, which makes me feel the mystery and want to deep in. I'm looking forward to seeing you concretize the blue!!!

What a gorgeous blog entry- it felt like blue color poetry! The shade of blue does bring so many connotations, and I look forward to seeing how you will apply the nuance of blue, in the forms of adornment you will create.
