Feeling blue? If so, that’s okay! The color blue doesn’t always have to be associated with gloomy days. In fact, it’s one of the most universally loved colors, quite literally surrounding us every day. From the sky and ocean to flowers and, of course, our beads, it’s no surprise that blue is one of Unicorne Beads’ best selling colors. Join us as we explore the fascinating psychology behind the color blue.
Why Blue is Boomin’
So why do blue beads work so well in jewelry design? A big part of it comes down to balance. Blue adds color to a design without making it feel too loud. It catches the eye while still feeling familiar and easy to wear.
For example, beads such as our Bubble Gum Teardrops are primarily blue, yet they still allow complementary colors to stand out and shine on their own.
When looking at our Land & Sea Large Coin Glass Bead, you can see that green is the most evident color in the design. However, the lighter shade of blue helps the green stand out even more while still having its own moment. Colors such as red, purple, or orange just simply would not create the same effect.
Overall, it’s safe to say that blue is the perfect hero color, supporting color, and neutral color. It has the unique ability to make a piece shine in many different ways.
Blue Pairs With Everything
Now, it’s time to begin “Reading Rainbow!” Unicorne Beads offers styles in every color of the rainbow (and then some). When browsing our Shop by Color collection, you’ll quickly see that the possibilities are endless. However, in this blog, we’ll be focusing on the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, and purple) and how each of these colors pairs perfectly with its best friend: blue.
Red & Blue: Our Copper & Teal Beads feature a mesmerizing blend of warm copper tones and vibrant teal swirls. These complementary colors create an earthy yet sophisticated charm. They’re perfect for anyone looking for something unique, elegant, and mature.
Orange & Blue: The Birds of Paradise Beads are a fan favorite. The star of this design is undoubtedly the variety of orange hues. However, the addition of deep blue accents among the vibrant oranges creates a beautiful sense of depth and movement.
Yellow & Blue: Our Blue Bird Beads are a perfect example of how blue can be present without overshadowing other vibrant colors. The soft baby-blue tones featured in these beads help the bright yellow stand out even more. While a darker shade of blue would still look beautiful, it wouldn’t achieve the same cheerful pop of color.
Green & Blue: These colors are known for blending harmoniously together, as they reflect the world we all call home: Earth! Many of our green Unicorne Beads feature touches of blue, including styles such as Multi Forest, Peacock, Shamrock, and so much more.
Purple & Blue: Our Desert Mirage Teardrops showcase a stunning combination of purple, blue, and brown. Believe it or not, these three colors complement each other beautifully. Unlike the previous examples, the blue in this design is darker and more prominent, creating a gorgeous balance between grounded earth tones and dreamy hues.
