Portraits that are painted with Blue Light as the main color can have a melancholic feel because Blue can sometimes be associated with depression and detachment. However, very often clothing that is designed with this airy color can feel light and carefree. It all depends on what other colors, materials, and textures are incorporated into the design.
How the color is made: Blue Light is made by combining White with Moderate Cyan to create a cool color that mimics a cloudless wintery sky.
History: Traditionally, Blue Light was used to depict a sense of peace and intelligence, but occasionally it could also be used to create a gloomy mood, for instance in Van Gogh’s self-portrait in 1889 the artist’s Blue Light brushstrokes and suit create a somber feel.
