Dark-blue represents complete calm. Contemplation of this color has a pacifying effect on the central nervous system. Blood pressure, pulse and respiration rate are all reduced, while self-productive mechanisms work to recharge the organism. The body adjusts itself to relaxation and recuperation, so that in sickness and exhaustion the need for this color increases.
Dark-blue, like all four of the basic colors, is a chromatic representation of a basic biological need - physiologically, tranquility; psychologically, contentment, contentment being peace plus gratification.
Thus blue represents the bonds one draws around oneself, unification and the sense of belonging. "Blue is loyalty," as they say, but where one's allies are concerned one is especially vulnerable, so blue corresponds to depth and feeling Blue, as a relaxed sensitivity, is a prerequisite for empathy, for aesthetic experience and for meditative awareness.
"silence is the proper condition of beauty, like the calm of the untroubled sea" - (or in my case a tumbling, wave producing sea.)
....The ocean instills a sense of safety, with its flat horizon that allows humans to spot. Any oncoming threats such as lions or warriors, an unlimited supply of water that's so essential to life.
To the evolving mind, it's the cleanest savanna ever experienced.
There's no lack of clarity that we came from the ocean. 70% of my body is salt water. My brain is bathed in salt water. Even Neurons fire because of salt level changes in the brain.
