All About Turquoise (Blue)
The color Turquoise is
the brilliant, yet calming color found within the convergence of green and
blue. A combination of blue and a small
amount of yellow, turquoise fits in on the color scale between green and blue.
It radiates the peace, calm and tranquility of blue and the balance and growth
of green with the uplifting energy of yellow.
It is a color that promotes higher emotional communication, self
awareness, and initiative.
As the color is so
similar to the color of the ocean, it is also referred to as aqua or
aquamarine. These shades are strongly
evocative of the ocean on a clear day especially that of the lovely warm
tropical Island seas. This family of colors is a color of mystics and
telepathy. It is a symbol of the heavens
and of the sea, of fluid movement and mutability.
Turquoise is the
symbol of youth, both the color and the gemstone. Turquoise is the color of communication. It contains the growth quality of green with
the blue quality of communication. Turquoise has long been used in amulets to
provide protection, health, confidence and strength.
Turquoise recharges
our spirits during times of mental stress and tiredness, alleviating feelings
of loneliness. You only have to focus on the color turquoise, whether on a wall
or clothing and you feel instant calm and gentle invigoration, ready to face
the world again.
Turquoise is a great
color to have around you, particularly in an emergency, as it helps with clear
thinking and decision-making. It assists in the development of organizational
and management skills. It influences rather than preaching and demanding.
The color turquoise is
a good color to aid concentration and clarity of thought for public speakers as
it calms the nervous system, gives control over speech and expression, and
builds confidence.
Turquoise heightens
levels of creativity and sensitivity. It is good at multi-tasking, becoming
bored if forced to focus on one thing only. Sometimes its thinking can become
scattered if surrounded by too much of this balancing color. This color has more to do with feeling and
creative expression than with rational thought.
Turquoise can also be
self-centered, tuning in to its own needs above all others. At the same time,
it can help us to build our self-esteem and to love ourselves, which in turn
supports our ability to love others unconditionally. At its most extreme it can
be boastful and narcissistic. Although
turquoise is self-sufficient, it fears being alone and can become aloof and
unapproachable when this occurs, making the situation worse.
Turquoise has strong
powers of observation and perception and can be quite discriminating. It has
the ability to identify the way forward, the way to success, balancing the pros
and cons, the right and wrong, of any situation. It is a good color to use when
you are stuck in a rut and don't know which way to move.

astrological sign for Aquarius is depicted by two waves - versus one. It is
believed that the second wave represents communication frequencies (or waves),
thus marking our present time as the Information Age or the Age of Mass
Communication. Interestingly enough, as a planet we are physically moving out
of the spatial co-ordinates of Pisces and entering the spatial co-ordinates of
Aquarius.

Turquoise in History
The Mayan and Incan
cultures revered the color Turquoise and mined the stone for use in their
ceremonial garb and temples. Both cultures are believed to be descendants of
the lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, each of which supposedly had
highly advanced technologies, therefore the Silicon Age (Silicon Valley) has
also been identified to the color Turquoise.
These colors are
associated both with ancient and ethnic artistry and with the cutting edge
modern techno artistry. From the mosaics
of the ancient world, the aqua clay paint accents of Northwest Native American works to the rather kitschy "modern " of the
fifties, such as cone-shaped plastic
chairs and lava lamps, these shades have been used in a startling range of
ways.
