How Colour Can Change Your Image: Blue Part 9

No question!  I love this colour very much.  Of course, why not, it’s my birthstone!  Some of my stuffs and collections are colour blues.   And most of my apparels and accessories are blues… I love wearing blue especially as my tops.

How Blue colour affects our image?

Blue – it coveys traits such as being peaceful, loyal, trustworthy, constant, orderly, sincere, tiresome, predictable, conservative, passive and easily depressed.

When to Use Blue

1. When you want to command respect.  Deep blues project the most authority.
2. When you want to impress future in-laws.
3. When you are to appear on TV.  Middle-value is the most camera-friendly colour.

When to Avoid Blue

1. When making a creative presentation in advertising, design, marketing or public relations.  Blue does not usually send a creative message.
2. When at meetings or conventions with lawyers, bankers or accountants, unless your goal is not to stand out.
3. When going to a school reunion where you want to project success and confidence.
