(Late) Blog Tip: Finally, A Reference for "Blue!"

I'm asked time and again where I came up with the name, "Blue Ferret Communications." I like telling the story behind the three words, but I've always lacked one element.

I chose 'blue' because I'd found a list of color perceptions in business. For example, Red is seen as passionate, intense, almost furiously dedicated in the business world. Conversely, Blue is seen to represent integrity, professionalism, and good communication.

Unfortunately for me, the website that housed this color list disappeared shortly after I found it. So I had no reference point. I couldn't tell people, "Well, go to this site and you'll see what I mean."

Until now.

No mention of Communication. But Authority and Calm? I'll take those. It still works.
