Blue carries connotations of tranquillity and peace as well as being used by many organisations to symbolise trust and stability.

Historically, blue was an incredibly difficult colour to come by. It's complex makeup and rarity in nature meant blue was only adorned by the most important subjects. Renaissance artists reserved the colour for the Virgin Mary, while Cleopatra used the blue gemstone lapis lazuli to bring her favour among the gods.
