“Blue skies, smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see”, sang Ella Fitzgerald. Shades of blue, eggshell, aquamarine, icy, royal, whatever blue shade you can name, these are my favourite colours. They immediately lift the spirits with a sense of spring or summer, the sea or a lake, I could go on. Visiting interior stores today, I came out feeling very beige, bland and dour. Then at a French store, the shop designer was happily throwing as many blue items on a table as she could, even a pair of blue denim shorts. I thanked her and we discussed and admired her composition. Both of us left happier!
