Transitioning from Violet to Blue felt natural. No big emotions, no impatience, just an easy shift – like the way the sky slowly fades from twilight to night. Unlike Red, which had me eagerly anticipating its arrival, Blue simply arrived. And I welcomed it.
I like Blue. I always have. It’s a color that doesn’t demand attention but is always there, steady and familiar. I assumed I had plenty of Blue pieces in my wardrobe – enough to carry me through the month without needing to add anything new. But as I gathered my clothes, I realized that while I do have Blue, a lot of it isn’t quite practical for February. My collection leans toward dresses – flowy, airy, beautiful – but not exactly suited for the biting cold of winter. So, once again, I’ll be borrowing sweaters from my husband and improvising where needed. And as if the universe knew, on the very last day of Violet, a friend gifted me a Blue shirt. It seems that Blue is going to be enough after all.
For me, Blue is the color of the sky and the sea – vast, calming, expansive. It’s a color that brings ease. I feel more at home in Blue than I did in Violet. Not necessarily better, just more me. There’s something reassuring about it. Maybe that’s why it’s the world’s favorite color – literally. (In a study conducted by Joe Hallock, Blue was found to be the most popular color across different cultures and demographics.) Blue is everywhere, and it belongs to everyone. Wearing it, I won’t stand out. I can move through this month with a certain invisibility, which, after two months of intense color focus, actually feels like rest.
But Blue is also the color of the mind. It influences us mentally, calms us, soothes us. I wonder – will it slow my thoughts? Will it quiet the creative fireworks that exploded under Violet? With Violet, I had so many ideas, though the energy to execute them wasn’t quite there. Red had the energy, but maybe too much intensity. What will Blue bring? I don’t want to predict or expect anything. I just want to see where it takes me.
This month, I’ll embrace all shades of Blue – deep, rich navy, soft sky blue, the mysterious glow of lapis lazuli (a stone I absolutely love). I’ve already prepared my Blue nail polish, my Blue phone case, small details that ground me in this color. As long as it reads Blue at first glance, it’s allowed. There’s space for variety within the boundaries of this color.
So here’s to a calm, steady, expansive February. Let’s see where Blue leads.
