Exploring Color in the 21st Century

Blue in the Face Matching Game

I read recently that our different races are all the colors of the earth – the dirt, the soil, the clay, the sand.  Since there is no blue earth, characters with blue skin seem unnatural and other worldly. Here’s a fun matching game on blue skinned  folks  seen in shows, movies, TV, artwork, and comic books.  Note that I drew the line at humanoids. No Cookie Monster or Blue dogs.  (You can tell that we watch lots of science fiction in this house! ) Match the photos to the list below and then let me know if I missed your favorite blue face, real or imaginary.

    Yes! Thank you. Not sure how I missed her. The Fifth Element is one of my daughter’s favorite movies – she loves Chris Tucker in just about anything.
