I don't mean the song.
Mostly it's the color--the color of my eyes, which I'm told are pretty. I look good in this color, so it's my favorite.
It's the color of water (which if you're into astrology is the element associated with Scorpios), of perfectly open skies in September (right up until August in Oklahoma they're very hazy and almost white on the edges from the pure heat), my car is a devastating shade of Curacao, which coincidentally happens to be a very pretty liqueur for hip, electric blue martinis.
I guess the only shade of blue I don't really like is Prime or Royal--I don't look good in primary colors. But you put me in some Cornflower, Peacock, Cyan, even Navy--I have ash dark brown hair that will look awesome when it turns gray and I just look good in blue.
The hardest part about it is that it's almost impossible to match two shades of blue--any other color you can throw against a differing shade and it won't clash. Blue is impossible to match. I don't know why that is.
