The concept of light blue It is widely used in our language, being used to refer to various questions.
One of the most common uses is to name one of the many colors that make up the vast chromatic universe that surrounds us. The celestial is a light blue, equal to the color that our Darling and for example, since ancient times this color has been associated with the sky itself.
Even when you want to give someone an idea of the blue color that shows something, a garment, an object, we usually say that it has the same color as the sky.
As a consequence of this great celestial-sky relationship, the concept is also widely used in the astronomy to refer to those bodies or objects that can be seen precisely in the sky.
But in addition to this connection almost excluding that the celestial color established with the sky, it is worth noting that it has been used with preference when making both shields as national flags. And in most cases it has been precisely that closeness to the color of the sky that has determined this situation. Flags and shields like those of the
Republic Argentina and Uruguay have the celestial color as one of the most salient within the respective flag designs of each country.In the case of Argentina, it is mixed with white, while in the Uruguayan case, the blue one prevails. Even in the jargon football has adopted the nickname of celeste, in clear allusion to the color of the flag, to name the Uruguayan soccer team.
And continuing with this great predilection of Uruguay for the celestial we must mention that in the Department from Jump there is a very small town that bears that name.
Also, the celestial has been used from far back in time as symbol of masculinity. So when a woman is pregnant with a child, she is usually given objects and clothing of this color. Meanwhile, the color that is opposed because it is associated with femininity is pink.
On the other hand, Celeste turns out to be a woman's proper name, quite frequently used in Latin America. And precisely its reference says that Celeste means that it belongs to heaven.
