AGAIN COMPLEMENTARY BACKGROUND, I REALLY LIKE THAT WELL! :D  
  
INTERESTINGLY, THE ETHYMOLOGY OF "BLUE" IS NOT AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS FOR "YELLOW" AND "GREEN". THE INDO-EUROPEAN ROOT IS "BHEL-", WHICH MEANS "SHINE, FLASH, BURN", AND THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH THE COLOR BLUE YET. PROBABLY THIS IS BECAUSE BLUE AS A COLOR WAS ADAPTED TO MOST LANGUAGES ONLY LATELY (IN FACT, THERE ARE STILL LANGUAGES WHICH DO NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN GREEN AND BLUE). HOWEVER, THE DEFINITION OF THE COLOR BLUE IS ONCE AGAIN VERY "NATURAL": WHEN ADAPTED TO OLD ENGLISH LANGUAGE, BLUE WAS DEFINED TO BE "THE COLOR OF THE CLEAR SKY".
