Not these days! 21st century blues are accented with bright greens and raspberry, with bitter chocolates and steely greys.

Blue is a vast colour with an enormous range and it has become the colour of the decade. The book is organized from very pale, baby and powder blue, steadily increasing in depth and richness to the deepest indigos, navy's and midnight blues.
