Photo: Saskia-Marjanna Schulz(Die Hochbegabung) Blue is an informal colour. For Swiss people. Is this true?? I never thought about such a quality for a colour. Blue to me until today meant peacefulness, quietness, sky and water but not tulips. The guy who told me this tonight is a Brasilian visitor who just turned back from his skiing vacation in Zermatt. He was fascinated by the coexistence of traditional habits next to tourists in their dazzling skiing outfits. And he couldn‘t believe that people would go to the same place a) for more than 20 years and b) get medalled for having
been true blue guests since two or more decades.
Why not? Why not go to the same place every Christmas with your family and enjoy fondue chinoise at the same place, stay in the same hotelroom („same room number, please“), share the same stories with the same friends and take the same black skiruns (the blue ones are for those who only come once in a decade...), loose the always same lefthand glove, take the same pictures of the same beautiful winter sunsets. And: Enjoy the same hotel room decoration every year. A room decoration that has to be anything but blue.
My key question for you today: If the Swiss flag was a white cross against blue background, would red than be considered as being informal?
