    Blue symbolizes immortality. Dark blue is also a color for somber occasions like funerals and deaths.

    Blue sounds like "Lahn Sih" in Mandarin. I don't know of any significance.

    2. Blue sky is the greatest. lan tian.

    Blue sky is very deep and wide.

    Judge bao is called Bao Qing Tian.

    Qing is the bluest of blues. or purest blue or deepest blues.

    yes. blue white and red.

    the choices of three colors are actually learned or borrowed ideas from the french republic flag.

    and the Russia republic adopted the three colors, too.
