Unfortunately with me I have no universal dictionary for symbolism,
but I do have George Ferguson's "Signs & Symbols in Christian Art,"
and this is what is says about the color blue, "The color of the
sky, symbolizes 'Heaven' and heavenly love. [not much help there?]
It is the color of truth, because the blue always appears in the sky
after the clouds are dispelled, suggesting the unveiling of truth."


This is a little too religious a definition to apply to TP, yet
I think the idea of "Blue" representing "truth could fit into,
the symbolism of the Blue Rose. Then again I propbably am all
wrong...

Just thought I would post this to add to the general discussion...
