Egypt:

Lapis lazuli have been promised life-giving properties.
Egyptians invented the blue glass (Smalte), which often served on statues and sarcophagus for the representation of eyes, crowns and so on. ..The Nile was always shown in blue. ..
Blue hippos are symbols of the life-giving river. ..
Blue female figures (covered with glaze) serve as symbols of creation and renewal of life (finds in tombs).
Temple rooms show sky depictions on the ceilings - blue with yellow stars.
Gold and blue are the colors of the divine (Tutankhamun is adorned with gold and lapis lazuli, crozier and fronds are gold and blue striped).
Egyptians saw life in the deep blue of the water and the divine in the immense blue of the sky.

The effect of the color blue
Blue moves into a state of dreaming, the color is longing, it has a calming effect and leads to a serious view of things inside. This function is also fulfilled by the blue-monochrome images by Yves Klein. The color blue is considered the color of the mind and agrees positively.
For this reason, unpleasant things such as traffic tickets, single tickets or "blue letters", which announce the necessary repetition of a student's grade level, are colored blue. The blue makes the messages easier to accept.
