this makes me wonder if business minded folk are specifically colorblind to subdued shades of blue.
that is nearly identical to a blue on our website branding; one of the useless cogs upstairs keeps complaining about the "ugly grey" on our site. we don't have one single grey.

Scientifically speaking...
the human eye loses shades of blue during the course of its lifetime. They say babies see in crazy shades of blue and by the time they are able to recognize anything they have already lost some shades.I am not smart, NPR just did some interview with some scientist... thats where I heard it.
