The aesthetics of a prevailing white setting contrasted by the mesmerizing blue of a clear sky is the second dominant impression, right next to sportsmanship. Even looking at the photos from the events is breathtaking, just imagine how it all looks to those who experienced it first hand.

It's no wonder that winter blue, ice blue or Olympic blue, doesn't really matter how you call it, has often been an aha moment for artists and designers all over the world.
