How to Sign "Blue"

“Blue” is signed by shaking the thumb and index finger of your dominant hand:

• Form the letter “B” with your dominant hand (thumb across palm, fingers together and extended).
• Shake the hand gently side to side a couple of times.

Tips

• Visualize the color “blue” — the shake suggests fluidity.
• Keep the motion steady and controlled.

Common Mistakes

• Using wrong handshape — must be the “B” shape.
• Shaking too vigorously — subtle motion is clearer.

Think: “Blue is calm shake of ‘B.’”
