Blue can evoke calm, focus and trust, with a marked stabilizing effect; psychologically it symbolizes reason, loyalty and depth. For this reason Cyan Gray-Blue tends to leave a first impression of being cool and reliable in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.
