Smithsonian Color Journey

The Color Blue

The color of the sky and the sea, blue is often associated with serenity, inspiration, loyalty, and a sadness known as the blues. Explore the color blue in the National Museum of Asian Art collections and in collections from across the Smithsonian.

Discover ways of understanding the science of color with Smithsonian Libraries and Archives and the story behind the colors we create with the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
