The battle for blue

Really nice infograph that just proves that blue might be the most overused color in the world (isn’t it enough that the sky and the sea are blue?)
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like blue, but this inforgraph is a little shocking. You know subconsciously that blue is all over the place in the corporate world, but this much?

    One reason is that even color-blind people see blue and yellow as colors. (With very rare exceptions).

    Another might be that blue is not an unlucky color. Duke Ellington stopped wearing other colors one by one (because he thought they were unlucky) until only blue and white were left.
