I have a thing for this colour; turquoise, or aqua…it is serene, peaceful, lovely, feminine…
If you take a stroll in the old streets of Beirut, you will discover many doors, wooden shutters and windows are painted in different shades of turquoise and aqua…
and more aqua…
Lovely isn’t it? do you have these colours in your streets?
Or do you like it for your accessories?
or in your home?
For more inspiration visit these two sites House of Turquoise (a blogger passionate about this colour, sharing literary EVERYTHING turquoise) and Everything Turquoise (a site selling Everything Turquoise).
How Cool is that?

Some different shades of blue:
Sky Blue — This color expresses constancy, fidelity and love. By doing so, it enables a person wearing these colors to overcome obstibles through a sense of peace and calm. Sky Blue also promotes fantasy and imagination and is the favorite color for baby boys rooms and clothing.
Azure Blue — This is the favorite color of people who are content with life, as long as it has some specific goals. People who prefer this color have the attitude that “the journey is better than the destination” and they enjoy the quest so much that, if they achieve it, they quickly invent a new goal to pursue.
Pale Blue — This color speaks of gentleness and the striving for a great cause. It will often be the color of surgeons or hospital staff working in and around the operating room. It is the color of the United Nations Peace Keeping troops and certain religious orders. People who prefer this color are announcing to everyone that they have an important task to achieve and that they are absolutely determined to to succeed.
Dark Blue — Despite this being the favorite color of formal attire, Dark Blue shows a lack of ability to communicate. The color signifies repressed feelings and wearing it often indicates the presence of needless anxieties and a lack of trust for others.
