Conceptual Dimension of Color cont. 4


Blue- Blue is a soothing, intellectual, enlightening color. Associated with wisdom and knowledge, the color has many conceptual uses. In the game examined (Morrowind), blue is the dedicated color for the Keeper of the Museum of Oddities. Knowledge is the conceptual path chosen for this color in this scenario. The game developers further link this conceptual use of the color blue to other wise Orders within the game.


The Order of Heretics within Morrowind (shown above), who rebel against the oppression of the game's Mad King/God and seek to create a new realm that isn't ruled by madness, use the color blue as their order's official color. In this facet, blue is conceptually used for enlightenment, as an emotional indicator of peace and hope.
