Blueberries are perfectly round with a five-pointed star shape that is formed at the blossom end of the berry. The skin they are wrapped in – blue – is the rarest color on earth. Blue evokes other worldly feelings. Into the wild blue yonder, sky driven horizons pulling us ever forward into the future. Into the deep-blue sea, a watery realm of fascination, a reality that rivals the most vivid imagination and is almost as unknown as outer space. The fifth chakra—vishuddha--is a radiant blue energy center located at the throat that gifts clarity of speech, wit, improvisation, expressing your truth and engagement with your inner-muse. Blue is linked with eternity, the star filled skies, the beyond, supernatural beauty and promotes detachment from earthly concerns. Mother Mary is draped in a celestial cloak of the blue vault of heaven.
The blue Hindu god Shiva—The Destroyer—reminds us all beginnings must have an end, all that is born must die, all that is must cease to be. The universal power of destruction in which all existence ends and from which it rises again, is known in him. Shiva also known as the Lord of Sleep, is often depicted asleep for when beings are tired of action, of pain, they seek the dreamless sleep, where they can enter into Shiva, the Abode of Joy. Blue is cooling, calming and promotes restful sleep, according to Charles Klotshche a color theorist.

The blues a musical art form "that is joyful, exuberant full of upbeat rhythms and playful humor – but it’s also a deeply sad music that deals with suffering and loneliness ... “What’s fascinating about the blue note is that it’s right in the between major and minor third. The “third” is one of the defining notes within a scale, which is why the blue note sounds like it’s hovering in between major and minor. So it isn’t the sad, lyrical sound of a minor chord, and it isn’t the happy, bouncy sound of a major chord. It’s both at the same time. That’s the blues in a nutshell: hovering between one thing and the other, yet deeply rooted in both. 2
Pablo Picasso's paintings from his "blue period" show the disenfranchised in states of lethargy and despair, all painted in blue to show lack in some form: their hunger, cold and sadness. The artist Henri Matisse in his painting (1910) The Dance, on the other hand used what he called “the eye-smacking color scheme of sapphire-blue sky”, for he wanted the sky to be the bluest of blues (the surface was colored to saturation, that is to say, up to to the point where the blue, the idea of absolute blue, appeared conclusively) seems to express joyful exuberance, as dancers dance hand in hand with no care in the world. Expressing an effortless ease.
