Dark Blue On Each: BLUES
Prussian blue—A strong tinting blue, very dark with a greenish cast. Good for producing brilliant greens when combined with yellow.
Cobalt blue—A strong blue with a reddish cast. Good for mixing.
Cerulean blue—A strong blue with a greenish cast.
Ultramarine—Sometimes called French blue. It has a reddish cast and makes a beautiful purple when mixed with alizarin crimson.

Range: Widely distributed throughout inland Australia Description: All green; lower part of cheeks and throat yellow; small patch of dark blue on each cheek, below which are 3 black spots; bare skin around nostril (cere) dark blue in male, pale blue in female; bill bluish lead color; lower back, rump, and upper tail coverts grass green, upper tail tinged with blue; central pair of tail feathers blue; tail long and graduated; length 7% inches.See Also Pale Blue Walls:Pale blue walls and whitewashed floorboards create a bright and modern look. An all-white scheme can look rather stark, but just adding chalky baby blue to the walls gives the space a softer, more easy-going feel. Cushions and throws add splashes of bright cerise, blue and pink, and these can be swapped around or added to any time to change the feel.
The same shade of blue has been used on the lower walls, beneath the dado rail, and on the door - an emulsion for walls, a tougher, eggshell paint for the woodwork. Above, there's a pale, airy blue, which makes the room feel light and spacious. A subtle leaf design has been stencilled on in green at random - an easy way to breath life into plain walls, with a pattern that's not as bold or rigidly repeated as wallpaper.
On The Other Hand See Blue -green:Because Clerk Maxwell added red, green, and blue -green light together, this technique is called additive. An equal ad¬dition of the three colors forms white; red and green add to form yellow; red and blue -green, magenta; green and blue -green, the blue -green-green known by photographers as cyan. It is important to bear in mind that this theory holds true only for colored light; the mixture of pigments is an¬other matter.
Sao Miguel calls itself "The Green Island" in tourist folders but its fabulous hydrangea highways, thick hedges with blue -green blossoms lining the roads on both sides mile after mile, make it a blue -green-green island for two or three months from about July 1. I have never seen anything in my travels at all like these island roads. They resemble green tunnels through luxuriant shade trees arching overhead, with a blue -green and white "dado" on either side.
