I have always been a fan of the color blue.  I believe that it is one of the three primary colors
yeah i think it is, why do you like blue?
I think because it has been so important in art since the ancient times.  
oh it has? I really like it because it's said to "calm down" mentally you know
That makes sense.  The Egyptians used lapis lazuli for art and it was blue
that's pretty cool, the egyptians did a bunch of weird stuff
In the middle ages, lapis lazuli was ground into powder and made into ultramarine.  It was considered the finest blue pigment
