Blue... ;-) ;-)

Wikipedia says
"The term blue may refer to any of a number of similar colors. The sensation of blue is made by light having a spectrum dominated by energy in the wavelength range of about 440–490 nm.
Blue is considered to be one of the three primary additive colors in the RGB system; blue light has the shortest wavelength range of the three additive primary colors. The English language commonly uses "blue" to refer to any color from navy blue to cyan."

Some strange facts ( of course i googled for them :P )
  • Blue eyes are the most sensitive to light, brown eyes the least sensitive!
  • Owls are the only birds who can see the color blue!
  • 80 percent of Americans love blue color!
  • Blue and white are the most common school colors!
  • Animal breeders in Russia once claimed to have bred sheep with blue wool!
  • A scallop has 35 blue eyes!
  • Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as any other!
  • Maine produces about 98-99% of all wild blueberries in the US!
  • The red traffic light contains some orange color and the green traffic light contains some blue color making it easier for people with red-green color blindness!
  • More people use blue toothbrushes, than red ones!
  • Other than humans, black lemurs are the only primates that may have blue eyes!

Well enough of facts, I'll tell you some more nice facts :P :P

  • Any girl who works in front of computer most of the time loves blue color than anything else.
  • Though blue color wavelength is 440-490 nm, the lower bound for blue color is 1200 and the upper bound is 1500.
  • Though the hexadecimal triplet for blue is #0000FF, the actual blue you see in the websites is #6666FF. This can be checked in the css file. For example
  • /* Blue */
    .coderTextBlue, .coderTextBlue:link, .coderTextBlue:visited, .coderTextBlue:hover, .coderTextBlue:active 
    { color: #6666FF; }
Hmmmm, i wish i could write more but have to stop here :-) :-)
