Symbolic language
In the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness, e.g. "He was feeling blue". In German, on the other hand, to be "blue" (blau sein) is to be drunk. This derives from the ancient use of urine (which is produced copiously by the human body after drinking alcohol) in dyeing cloth blue with woad or indigo.[7] It may also be in relation to rain, which is usually regarded as a trigger of depressive emotions.[8]
Conversely blue, a very popular colour[9] can represent happiness and optimism[10] as days with clearer, blue skies tend to be considered times where these emotions are more easily expressed. Many artistic contributions have been made referencing clear days with blue skies as part of the happiness or as a symbolism of the happiness the artist felt, such as Tony Bennett's Put on a Happy Face.[11] If this were untrue there would obviously be more complaints about days with clear blue skies.
Blue is commonly used in the Western hemisphere to symbolize the male gender in contrast to pink used for females.
