Blue
Overview
Blue sits with Water for sky and sea. Traditional reading asks whether it was deep or pale, since saturation carries the reading.
Meaning
Blue is read as Water in its open form — distance, depth, and the colour of things seen from far off.
Traditional Interpretation
Sources distinguish blue-green (qing) from blue proper; in the traditional palette that boundary is drawn differently from modern usage and covers both sky and growing things.
