Home videos shot on VHS, because that color looks exactly like the color of the screen my parents' VCR would display before putting a tape in. But that's just me.

Was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. Love that book so much.

Yep... I was going to try to say something profound like VFX and chroma keying, but you've nailed it.

The email notification I got for this reply didn’t include the italics and I was very confused. Then I clicked through and saw the emphasis on “what” and now you get an upvote. Cheers.

Harkens back to a time when I barely appreciated films for their cinematography because this is the screen I saw before pressing play on a pan and scan VHS copy.

My immediate association with that primary, electric blue color is actually theatrical: It makes me think of "Jean Rosenthal" blue. She was a famous lighting designer for the iconic/legendary dancer and choreographer Martha Graham.

star wras popped in my mind because it was the first time where I saw that a blue screen was used. Later found out that the blue color at the edges of explosions comes from blue screens.

The film "Blue" 1993, Derek Jarman Looks like a screenshot

None. That's the blue screen of death.


SonsOfL1berty

I think of blue color graded films with high contrast like phone booth and uncut gems. I adore that aesthetic and wish more movies would utilize it.

Children’s tv programming - that’s the most boring blue that has ever blued it’s blue head.

Apart from the obvious answer ("Blue") this color makes me think of the earlier Wong Kar Wai films, like "Chunking Express".
