Baby Blanket Colors

• The colors of the red spectrum (red, orange and yellow) are known as “warm colors“, each of them suggesting feelings of warmth and comfort.
• The colors of the blue spectrum (blue, purple and green) are known as “cool colors” that give the feeling of calm and relaxation.

Actually, not the colors themselves, but the chromatic values that result from combining, disposing, harmonizing and matching different overtones are the ones that may have an impact on your baby’s behavior. This impact on people’s actions has concerned many scientists that contributed to the knowledge of the mechanism in color vision, the interpretation of the connections between children and colors and the influence that colors have over the psychic, power to concentrate and health.

What are Hue and Tinge?

For you to understand better the suggestions that we make regarding the colors of the baby blankets that you are going to buy, let’s explain a little bit better what “hue” and “tinge” mean.
Hues or shades result if you blend two neighbor colors from the chromatic spectrum. This gives the color a warmer feeling.
Tinges or tones result from mixing the same color whit black or white, which gives a darker or lighter impression of that color.

For the baby’s blanket, you should pay extra attention to the chromatic part. You should know that this rainbow of colors that your baby will raise in is going to put its mark on his physical and mental development. Recreation, play and learning are activities that should be encouraged by creating a friendly environment full of colors. By choosing a particular color to personalize your baby’s blanket, you can create in the baby’s room a world full of stories and poetry, covered in warm and beautiful colors.
To increase the efficiency of his intellectual activity, create a various chromatic field. If your baby will be raised in a chromatic environment filled with diverse and well chosen color shades and tones, his level of intelligence and imagination will grow higher than in a colorless environment, monotonous and cold.

Why should you choose a red baby blanket?

We recommend to buy a red blanket, because red is a hot color, that activates flows of ideas. Red is also a color that increases the tone muscles, offers a better breathing rhythm, increases blood pressure, induces a warm feeling and offers a quantity of energy directly proportional its the level of perception. Red attracts attention, increases enthusiasm, encourages action and confidence, gives a sense of protection from fears or concerns. Red suggests passion, heat, energy, power, speed, ambition, sense of initiative, courage, respect. Red is color that stands out and stimulates making rapid and daring decisions.

How does a green baby blanket sounds to you?

If you consider red as being over provocative, we suggest a green baby blanket. Green should occupy the most space in your baby’s visible spectrum. According to some studies, green is the second most favorite color in the world, after blue.
Green reminds of nature, of life and isn’t that something that you want your baby to be surrounded by? Natural Green is soothing, refreshing and is a natural balance between a cold and a warm color (blue and yellow).
Green is the equivalent of life, nature, spring, fertility, youth, rebirth, abundance, development, health, environment, earth, balance, harmony, stability, calmness, intelligence, creativity, generosity, patience, adaptability, flexibility, harmony, safety, and relaxation (both mentally and physically). It banishes depression, nervousness and anxiety. Green amplifies the power of concentration, promotes meditation, contemplation and the association of ideas.

Let’s talk a little about purple

A world without colors would be sad. The more colors there are, the merrier. We have another recommendation for the baby blankets that you wish to purchase: purple. Purple embodies the balance between the impulsive, stimulating and energetic red with the clarity and stability of blue. Obtained by mixing the two colors, purple is the favourite color of the creative children. Purple means mystery, wisdom, nobility, spirituality, creativity, wealth, pride, tenderness and optimism. It can also represent the color of luxury, dignity, extravagance, independence, mystery and magic.

1. What Colors Should Baby Blankets Have?

Colorful Baby Blankets

If you will buy baby blankets in colors that your little one enjoys, you will bring him great joy. But how to choose the perfect color? Of course, you have to take into consideration a few facts.

• First of all, you should pick a color that matches with the room of the baby, his crib, the bed clothes, his skin, eyes or hair.
• You can select a blanket in one color, different colors for each side of the blanket or pastel colors for both sides.
• As time went by, the cliche that pink is a more suitable color for baby girls and blue, light-blue for little boys. Each color has its own beauty, and you should try them all, if possible.

Is a white baby blanket the option?

Have you decided on white? Mat white or shiny white? You should know that white is a very popular color in the Middle East and it signifies extreme purity, no guilt, innocence, safety, peace, silence, comfort, simplicity, truth, light, hope, youth, home. White stimulates efforts to overcome difficulties, encourages people to keep their minds clear of any bad thoughts and their souls pure. If you want your baby to get in the moods above, buy him a white blanket.

Why should you take into consideration yellow baby blankets

Or maybe you think that yellow is a better choice for a baby blanket? It means choosing a color synonymous with the lack of inhibition, the free spirit, qualities of modern and innovative persons. Yellow is the color of change, it transmits the message of expansion, growth and development.

Yellow will shine like gold, it is a visible color and will attract other peoples look. It is also a warm color, the equivalent of a good mood, relaxation, it stimulates joy and lust for life and play, it represents happiness, friendship, optimism and hope.  On a medical level, yellow has some benefits too: it develops the nervous system, it helps the baby’s memory and his eyes won’t get tired because of the color. I think you should really consider yellow if you don’t know what color the baby blankets that you want to buy should have.

Is blue a good choice for a baby blanket?

If you believe that yellow is not suitable for your baby, we suggest to think about a blue baby blanket. Most people choose blue because this color means confidence, responsibility, attachment, wisdom, relaxation, intuition, freedom and a calm spirit.  If yellow reminds you of the sun, blue is the color of the sky and the sea.  Some other benefits of color blue are: lowers blood pressure, calms down the breathing  rhythm, reduces pulse frequency and it decreases muscle tones.

What do mothers all around the world have to say when it comes to the color of the baby blanket that they are buying?

Judith, Chicago, USA: I do believe that colors can change moods and influence in some ways people. I want my baby to feel relaxed, comfortable and happy at the same time, so I go with yellow most of the times.

Catherine, Springfield, Illinois: I usually buy personalized baby blankets, with all sort of printings on them so I sometimes ignore the color on the background. But I want it to be a color that won’t scare my baby and give him nightmares. Now that you’ve mentioned it, most of Mathias’s baby blankets all have yellow or white background color.

Tania, Salt Lake, USA: We are living in a very cold region of the country so I buy my kids lots of warm clothes and baby blankets. The color? Hmm, most of the time is blue. Like the sea. We don’t get to see lot’s of that here:)

We will continue the list of suitable colors for baby blankets in our next posts.

-  Can the blanket be personalized with maybe a photo of your choice or some other designs?
-  Do you want a double, simple or a quilted baby blanket?
-  You would rather buy a two-sides blanket or not? Maybe in different colors.
-  Is the material of the blanket napless or not? That is a very important detail when it comes to washing.
-  If you choose to buy personalized baby blankets with different stickers or printings on it, can the paint harm your baby if he bites it or? We all know that babies love to chew on all sort of stuff. What if he is allergic to the chemicals from that print?
-  Also, is the paint firmly attached to the wire? What happens to it when you wash the blanket?
-  What weight should the blanket have? You should always choose a lighter one, because babies hate sleeping uncomfortable. And if their sleep is agitated, yours will be too. 500 grams is the best weight for a blanket.

-  Does the fabric allows stains to be removed with no extra effort?
-  Very important: for how many times can you wash the blanket and the material remains the same as it was when you bought it?
-  What is the life cycle of the blanket? Your baby won’t be needing it for a very long time maybe, but who knows what the parents decide about having another child:)
-  If you buy a baby blanket with purls, remember what we talked about earlier: baby have the tendency of putting everything in their mouth. Are baby blankets with purls really a must have?
-  Babies also move a lot in their sleep. So you do not want to buy a blanket that has a tendency to slip from the child’s body, but remain in a stable position.
-  How can the blanket be stored and how much space inside the closet requires?
-  Very important, are the blankets assuring the baby the comfort that he needs? And in case he wets the bed, does it prevent him from exposing himself to the fluids?
-  How warm are the baby blankets that you wish to purchase? When you feel them, the surface is warm or cold?
-  Does the blanket allows air circulation or is it almost airtight?
-  Is the baby exposed to any dangers such as suffocating himself by accident or over-heating when being covered by the blanket?
-  If you have twins, do you find suitable a blanket for the both of them in case they are sharing the same crib?
-  Most importantly, can you afford the type of baby blanket that you wish for your little ones to have? Or what other options to buy one do you have, except the ride to the store. Maybe with just a few clicks, the blanket can come to you.
