Turquoise is equally popular with men and women. Mixes well with pale pinks and lavenders for a feminine look. Create a retro scenario with turquoise and pink or art deco by combining it with white and black. Combined with grey, silver, terra cotta and tans, it produces a southwestern USA look. With orange or yellow, it creates an innovative, fresh image suitable for sports-oriented sites.5

I've done some research in the past about colors. And since blue has always been my favorite, I can see why I love it so much. A lot of those words describe me to a 'T'. I associate blue with sadness, intellect, depth, etc. I didn't know the list went on, lol. Thanks for sharing this.
