n Buddhism, the color blue is sometimes associated with the deity Aksobhya, one of the

Five Dhyani Buddhas in the Vajrayana tradition. Aksobhya represents the essence of
consciousness, wisdom, and mirror-like wisdom, and is often depicted with a blue or
dark blue complexion.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the blue color is often associated with the sky and the limitless
nature of consciousness. This is meant to symbolize that just as the sky is limitless and
unobstructed, so too should the mind be free from limitations and distractions.

In general, colors play an important role in Buddhist art and iconography, and they are
often used to evoke specific qualities and symbolism. Different colors are associated
with different aspects of the Buddhist teachings, such as compassion (red), wisdom
(blue), power (yellow), and purity (white).
