The delightful blue that colors the skies of Kuwait in the winter and spring is the thing that rejoices residents the most. Those who live in this land know that the summer of Kuwait, where the blue of the sky merges into an endless desert, has no details. Perhaps many people do not realize that their favorite color is blue, in all its shades. This color, which has beautiful and happy meanings, is applied to paint many things which we encounter on a daily basis without even being aware of them.

Blue is associated with cleanliness and purity, so it is mostly chosen for recycling containers, drinking fountains and swimming pools. It's also the color of wellbeing, notably seen in nonprofit organizations' logos, such as PETA, FAIRTRADE, ABOLISH Article 153, UNICEF and other organizations concerned with human welfare, health, sport and the protection of children and animal rights.

When someone wants to seek psychological stability, they search for the sea and the blue sky, or choose to spend most of their time in the house where the blue color is prevalent (as I do in mine). This color has the ability to bring tranquility and physical and mental harmony.

So, what you are waiting for? Make the blue color part of the office or the living room. And plan a weekly therapeutic visit to the sea, before the return of the burning sun of Kuwait from its short vacation!
