The color blue has historically been an influential color for many years! Throughout history, blue has been associated with sky, divinity and royalty. In Egypt, blue was associate with protection from evil and misfortune. This color association has been consistently paired with the word trust and loyalty. Still today, blue is symbolized as a trustworthy color and many say that it is trending again because it has become an attractive hue due to economic and social unrest.
