The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.
An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes.
Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.
Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times.
The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments.
In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain.
In the Middle Ages, European artists used it in the windows of cathedrals.
Europeans wore clothing coloured with the vegetable dye woad until it was replaced by the finer indigo from America.
In the 1800s, synthetic blue dyes and pigments gradually replaced mineral pigments and synthetic dyes.
