The Color Blue



The five primary colors in China are:


Red Black Yellow White Green


Blue is not one of the five primary colors in China. It is the color of the ocean, the sky and immortality. According to legend,the universe began as an egg. Out of the egg hatched a man named Pan Gu. Half of Pan Gu's shell became the sky above, and the other half formed the ocean below. Pan Gu grew for 18000 years,separating the sky from the ocean further and further. Finally he collapsed and became immortal.
