nothing but the blues this summer

cobalt blue

Colour trend- cobalt blue

It is one of my favourite colours, especially the cobalt blue shade. I think it will look good on everyone. It is very energising and refreshing. My favourite looks with cobalt blue for the autumn 2011 . Cobalt blue is a bright blue light, the first popularly used in Chinese ceramics and porcelain. But now the cobalt blue has penetrated the world of fashion.


The hottest hue for fall is cobalt blue, so it was only a matter of time till the tone showed up on the red carpet. After all, every other popular shade -- red, coral, purple, emerald, champagne, fuschia -- has shown up in droves in the last few years. Now it's blue's turn to shine.

our editor recommends.

Spring summer has been all about bright colors, but now an autumn/winter color which has stormed the catwalks is Cobalt Blue.
This autumn/ winter 12 it is still all about color, but we will see deeper and darker shades. Cobalt blue is a great way to brighten up any autumn morning. wardrobe watch
