While looking out the window at the beautiful blue sky and different shades of green, we realised these two colours have a tremendous effect on the mind and travelling.
“We absorb all that we can in the world. ”
Travel educates us about diverse cultures and ways of life. We absorb all that we can in the world; our view of the world isn’t always the same as everyone else’s, but we all have the pleasure of experiencing a wider view of our colourful world. Colours plays an important part in our longing to travel, especially blue and green.
Blue
The colour blue represents the sky and the sea, it’s associated with open spaces, freedom, imagination, expansiveness and inspiration. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, heaven, and intelligence.
