Blues were originally derived from cornflower petals, one of the more available land sources, hence its first name “corn blue.” True blue and purple pigments are rare in nature and are primarily derived from marine animals.

Design doesn’t have to suffer the visual clutter of additional information to have meaningful value. They culminate as an encompassing relationship instead of several unrelated ones. Elements understood as a whole are more meaningful than as several individual connections because they contain simultaneous relationships with varied opportunities for interpretation. The patterns that create and are created through emergent properties combine as a visual gestalt of relevance (more on gestalt in Chapter 7, “Structure: Building Beauty”) in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This process is called emergence and is recognized in science as well as philosophy, the arts, and systems theory. When simple elements interact, they enhance and amplify one another, and become the more complex relationships that you experience as pattern.
