COLOUR OF THE WEEK CONTEST - Blue / Blau

in WORLD OF XPILAR4 months ago

Deutsch im Anschluß...

It's been a while since I've posted in the World of Xpilar... On the one hand, I'm very sorry about that, as I owe a lot to this Community in terms of support, information and ideas. I really like the open format overall and it has in part been the inspiration for my design of the Dream Steem Community. So at this point: thank you for everything!

Now @charter called for this contest, which lured me away from my own climes:

Coincidence or skilful strategy? Last week, as part of a series of competitions, I asked: What colour is luck? The answers were varied (have a look around... ;-)) and my personal conclusion was: I don't really relate happiness to a specific colour, but somehow it should look BLUE... ;-))

My reason was and still is the association of vastness and freedom. Both the sky, which can come up trumps in very impressive shades of blue, and the sea, which shimmers in just as many different colours, and especially the combination of the two (!) always make me breathe a sigh of relief.

A few photos should give you an idea of what I'm talking about: blue, bluer, bluest... ;-))

And that would be my catalogue of happiness - a symphony in BLUE!

Deutsche Version:

Es ist eine Weile her, daß ich in der World of Xpilar gepostet habe… Auf der einen Seite tut mir das unendlich leid, da ich dieser Community einiges zu verdanken habe an Unterstützung, Information und Ideen. Das offene Format gefällt mir ja insgesamt sehr gut und hat in Teilen Pate gestanden für meine Ausgestaltung der Dream Steem Community. Also an dieser Stelle einmal: dankeschön, für alles!

@charter rief nun zu diesem Wettbewerb auf, der mich doch einmal weglockte von den eigenen Gefilden:

Zufall oder geschickte Strategie? Ich hatte in der vergangenen Woche im Rahmen einer Wettbewerbsreihe gefragt: Welche Farbe hat das Glück? Die Antworten waren vielfältig (schaut Euch gerne um… ;-)) und mein persönliches Fazit lautete: ich verbinde Glück eigentlich nicht mit einer bestimmten Farbe, aber irgendwie sollte es schon BLAU aussehen… ;-))

Meine Begründung lag und liegt in der Assoziation von Weite und Freiheit. Sowohl der Himmel, der in ganz beeindruckenden Blautönen trumpfen kann, also auch das Meer, das ebenso vielfältig schimmert, und insbesondere die Kombination aus beiden (!) lassen mich immer so richtig befreit durchatmen.

Einige Fotos sollen Euch vermitteln, wovon ich rede: blau, blauer, am blauesten… ;-))

Und das wäre dann mein Katalog des Glücks – eine Sinfonie in BLAU!

Sort:  

Blue has always been my best colour. Coincidentally, my primary school uniform was blue , same with my secondary school uniform.

My phone colour is blue too. Blue colour gives me inspiration/motivation.

Your description of blue and it's attribute is interesting to read.

Beautiful seascape. The blue sea, the blue sky...
but in Russian the sea is called "синее" and the sky is "голубое". Although it's almost the same color for me.

I love your idea about the blue color…

Whenever I hear blue, first thing that comes to mind whenever they want to give a description is the sea and the sky… or this fake Chelsea club, that won’t agree to win their matches…😊😊😊

But I’ve never seen anyone relate it to how “vast” the color could be.

Blue? We go for green!

Blue... Green... It's not really that clear-cut ;-)) Ty-ty and I regularly argue about what colour certain clothes really are...

If it comes to it there are only a few colours the rest is a mix.

I have always associated Blue with Sadness because of the idiom 'feeling blue'. Although, it's one of my favourite colour and I love how you see it and associate it with vastness and freedom. I don't think I will link it to sadness again.

I don't have a specific colour for sadness either, I think. Tristesse = grey, perhaps. Brown doesn't exactly convey exuberant cheerfulness either ;-))
