Electric blue

is a color whose definition varies but is often considered close to blue, and which represents the color of lightning, an electric spark, and the color of ionized argon gas; It was originally named after the glow of ionized air produced during electrical discharges, although its meaning has expanded to include shades of blue that are metaphorically "electric" by virtue of being "intense" or particularly "bright". Electrical arcs can produce different color emissions depending on the gases involved, but blue and violet are typical colors produced in the troposphere, where oxygen and nitrogen predominate.

First recorded use of electric blue

was used as a color name in English in 1845.
[1] [2] Electric blue (the version shown below as medium electric blue
) was fashionable in the 1890s. [3]

In culture[edit]

Astrology [edit]

The color electric blue is associated with the astrological sign of Aquarius. [9]

Panelology [edit]

In the 1998 retelling of the original 1963 story Superman Red/Superman Blue, Superman is temporarily deprived of the solar energy needed to provide the energy his body needs to give him powers and Superman develops electricity-based abilities, [10] which eventually powers him to put on white -blue spacesuit to prevent energy dissipation. Retaining most of his abilities, he could now also generate electrical attacks in place of his original heat vision. This version of Superman has been dubbed the "Electric Blue Superman" by some comic book fans. [eleven]

Music[edit]

In David Bowie's song "Sound and Vision" color is mentioned in the third verse,

Blue, blue, blue, electric blue This is the color of my room where I will live Blue, blue

Successful combinations

This is a very capricious and eccentric shade that should be used with extreme caution. Not all tones will harmoniously combine with it. For example, its tandem with green or red is considered very vulgar. When using it, it is recommended to give preference exclusively to a monochrome palette. The most successful duets should be considered in more detail.

With black

When using this option, you can create an incredibly feminine and elegant look. Such combinations can often be seen at shows in fashion houses. For example, a top or blouse of such eccentric colors in combination with black trousers of a classic cut would be an excellent solution. Such an original tandem is ideal for everyday wear.

For a party, instead of trousers, you can choose a skirt made of leather. Leather pants will also look harmonious. In this case, the woman will be irresistible. The finishing touch can be a gold leather belt.

A suit consisting of a skirt and jacket, made in such a rich color, can be complemented with a classic black blouse. With its help, the unbridled and bright tone will soften somewhat. If it’s difficult to decide to make this shade predominant, you can use an exclusively black palette, adding just one bright detail to the look. For example, shoes, a skirt or an extraordinary top can serve as an accent.

With white

If the color blue electra in tandem with black seems too heavy, you can refresh the outfit using a white palette. In this case, the image will change significantly. It will turn out much more feminine and light. This duo is considered ideal for everyday wear. At the same time, a combination with black is considered the best solution for the evening.

An electric blue dress with white elements is an ideal summer tandem. It is suitable for both a regular walk and going out. This creates an effect of lightness and airiness. In addition, this combination is often associated with marine motifs and gives a certain freshness.

With gray

The combination is considered one of the best. Calm gray tones somewhat restrain the explosive electro and help balance the image. The duet turns out incredibly soft if you use not pure gray, but a gray-brown tone.

A gray blouse or T-shirt looks great against a jacket and skirt in an electric tone. Gray shoes can be an excellent addition. At the same time, the girl will look incredibly feminine and elegant.

A bright jacket will look elegant in tandem with gray trousers. It looks no less original in combination with a sheath-style dress, made in a calm palette.

With green

As already mentioned, this combination is extremely dangerous. When used, the look turns out bold and incredibly bright. For example, a dress and jacket may be in a green palette, while the handbag or shoes are used electrically.

To make the outfit more saturated, you can use light green instead of classic green. When choosing this option, the girl will clearly not go unnoticed and will attract special attention to her person.

Brave ladies who want to create the brightest possible look, but using a calmer palette, should pay attention to the tandem of electric and turquoise. In this case, the rich tone will be somewhat calmed down with the help of turquoise, and its richness and depth will be fully conveyed.

A successful addition would be gold or delicate pink inclusions. For example, a bright, long pleated skirt looks original in combination with a turquoise blouse, gold jewelry or a handbag made in a gold tone.

With red

The combination is considered incredibly contrasting and even explosive. When used, the image turns out to be spectacular and very attractive. A cropped electric blue dress and a red jacket look especially impressive, especially if you add scarlet shoes.

True, when choosing such a bold palette, you should take into account the advice of experts. It is strongly not recommended to use these tones exclusively and apply them in equal proportions.

It is best to choose only one of these tones as a base. He will act dominant. The second one will help in the process of placing accents. When using this option, it will be possible to achieve balance and maintain harmony. Accordingly, there will not be excessive conflict between such bright, self-sufficient companions.

With yellow

An excellent solution would be to use a light yellow palette. With its help, it is possible to emphasize the nobility and richness of the electrician. True, in this case you should also choose only one tone as the main one. The second is used only for placing accents. For example, an electric blue dress with yellow accessories would be an excellent solution.

With beige

Beige belongs to the pastel palette and due to this it has an effect similar to gray. With its help, the brightness of the electric is somewhat softened, but at the same time its depth and sophistication are emphasized. The duet turns out to be quite gentle and calm. True, at the same time it does not lack extravagance and richness. This tandem is considered ideal for creating not only everyday, but also business looks. For example, a classic-cut trouser suit in a rich blue palette, paired with beige shoes and a blouse, would be an excellent solution for the office.

An electric blue dress with a leather jacket of the same color looks incredibly elegant. Beige shoes and a handbag are a good addition. This solution is ideal for a social event.

Creating an original bow using electro color is not difficult. To achieve the desired result, you need to choose a suitable companion for him. In such a situation, an incredibly sophisticated effect will be created. Naturally, the woman will definitely be the center of everyone's attention.
