Spring Color Trend: Royal Blue

By Nerina Hodzic Poplata 

Cobalt blue, aka "royal blue," in impure forms has for a long time been used for Chinese porcelain, but it was independently discovered as a pure alumina-based pigment by Louis Jacques Thénard in 1802. Commercial production began in France in 1807. The first recorded use of cobalt blue as a color name in English was in 1777.

Other colors, like royal blue, that complement both blonds and brunettes never go out of style. However, this season cobalt/royal blue is on the throne! 

Additionally, royal blue can be easily combined with pastel colors and neon summer shades. You can royal blue from head to toe, e.g., a royal blue suit. 

For my friends' wedding, I decided to opt for a cobalt blue outfit. My dress with a bow over one shoulder was just a bit above my knee; my top part of the dress had countless of folds. For my shoes, I wore cobalt blue high-heedled sandals with a lot of spikes.

Kobalt plava već dugo se koristi na kineskom porculanu, ali 1802. godine otkrivena je od strane Louis Jacques Thénard kao baza aluminij pigmenta. Komercijalna proizvodnja započela je u Francuskoj u 1807. Prva zabilježena upotreba imena kobalt plave boje na engleskom bila je 1777. godine.

Boja koja podjednako dobro pristaje i plavušama i crnkama nikad ne izlazi iz trenda. Međutim, ove sezone kobaltna (royal) plava je na samom tronu. Pored što se odlično kombinira sa pastelnim bojama, kao i ljetnim neon nijansama, ovu boju možete nositi od glave do pete. Za zabavu koju su moji prijatelji organizovali povodom svog vjenčanja, ja sam se odličila upravo za kobalt plavi outfit. Haljinu do koljena, sa velikom mašnom na jednom ramenu I bezbroj nabora sam dizajnira upravo za ovu priliku. Outfit sam upotpunila sa kobalt plavim sandalama na visoku petu i mnogo šiljaka. Odlučite li se i vi za kobaltni styling u nekoj toploj junskoj noći, svakako ga podijelite s nama na Club fashionista.com! XO
