In our modern world, more than half of the countries in the world have blue on their flags. This colour's popularity is further underscored by surveys conducted in the United States and Europe, where blue emerged as the most favoured colour among both men and women.
The blog series that we will be following, titled "All the Covers of the Rainbow," will delve into this beloved colour, specifically focusing on books that share the same cover colour.
