I find here in Melbourne that blue is closer to the Greek, but then on really hot days (that week of 40+), the sky is not so blue & more white hot (or so I gather, I didnt go out very much).

Perhaps this is the lavender.<br /><br />I can't think of another perfume that evokes a colour quite as well, unless it's Tea for Two which to me is the brown of corduroy sofas and the 70's.

I too found out about Blue Monday only today (ironically, New Order's Blue Monday is one of my all time fave songs).<br /><br />I have to admit though, blue is not one of my favourite colours; I especially dislike navy.
