Hi all,
I'm not sure if this subject has come up in quite
this way before but I have a question to pose to
the group. Why does blue sell? What is it about the
color blue that monkeys (us) like so much? Is it
because it is a color that doesn't often appear in
nature? Does it have some sort of sky/mystical
signifigance? Maybe it's just the way that it hits
our receptors that causes some sort of excitement.
Or maybe, as my girlfriend says, it just goes with
lots of people's decor.
I've been amazed at people's response to bright blue
objects. At a small craft sale recently I saw people
who would rather buy a flawed blue bowl than a perfect
green one. The flawed bowl had crawls and a chipped bottom
where a spot of glaze had stuck to the kiln shelf but
the color was an electric copper blue and people just
went for it.
I'd really be interested in the group's response to this
universal enigma.
Thanks in advance to all.
