I LOVE THE COLOUR BLUE! Volim plavu boju!
The history of blue
Blue, a hue cherished and celebrated throughout the annals of history, carries a significant importance due to its rarity and the expense associated with its production. The ancient Egyptians and Romans revered this colour, incorporating it into their clothing and artwork to reflect their social and cultural values.
It’s interesting to note that in the Middle Ages, the production of blue dyes, crafted from the precious stone Lapis Lazuli, was quite an expensive process. As a result, wearing blue clothing became a symbol of wealth, power, and prestige among the nobility.
However, it was only in the 1850s, with the advent of synthesized indigo dye, that the colour blue became widely available and affordable to the general populace. This transition marked a shift in the socio-cultural dynamics, democratizing the colour blue and making it a symbol of the ordinary and the everyday.
