Chefchaouen, a small town where God spilled the paint palette, has every alley as a stunning backdrop 📸 Deep and light lake blue, cobalt blue, sky blue... forming a dreamy fairy tale world. Local residents repaint the walls after the rainy season to ensure the colors remain as vibrant as ever. 📝 Origins of the blue color: mainly three explanations 1. Religious symbol: Judaism regards blue as a symbol of the sky and heaven. In the 1930s, after Jewish refugees moved in, they believed painting buildings blue would bring God's protection. 2. Practical function: Early residents used blueberry juice to repel mosquitoes and used the cool blue tones to create a visual sense of coolness. 3. Cultural fusion: Blue aligns with the Islamic cultural meanings of happiness and optimism.
