Previously on the DPP Color Week:
RED on Monday: What does the color red mean to you? To pilots? (So many wonderful ideas!)
ORANGE on Tuesday: Love or hate it?  (So far, it's been mostly a forum to announce one's love of orange!)
YELLOW on Wednesday: What are your shiny happy futures for pilots? (The discussion of "canon" events have been fantastic)
GREEN on Thursday: What do pilots do for rest & relaxation? (or, how green with jealousy can Lee get?)

Finally, we have...
Blue!
A "cool" color, blue is most often the favorite color.  It's a calming hue that is also associated with trust.  Blue is the color of pilots' uniforms, so let's see a picspam of all your favorite shots of Pilots in uniform!  It's also the color of Lee's eyes.  The color of Kara's once in a lifetime dress, and many other pilots' civilian clothing.  The color of Lee's eyes.  The color of lights in pilot helmets and Galactica hallways.  And the color of Lee's eyes.  The series seems to love the color blue, what do you think?  Lastly, what comes to mind when you think of BLUE?

Did I mention that Lee's eyes are blue?

Ah, I love Kara in that shirt. It really is such a contrast between her less frakked-up life then and her intense life on Galactica.

(Also, I love the subtlety at play with Kara sitting at the head of the table between Lee and Zak instead of next to Zak.)

Would it be completely inappapropriate to list our favorite and most over-the-top ways of describing a certain CAG's eyecolor?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD TOTALLY BE THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER.

(And mind you, I get just as flowery as anyone I know on this topic, so believe me, I'm totally giggling at my fangirlish self here.)

((But really it can't be helped. I mean-- THOSE EYES.))

**feels all funny inside**

Second try at posting Kara's blue dress because I am url!fail (and she really does look wonderful in blue, no wonder she likes it)

I hadn't even thought of how they were sitting - I always just put it down to the fact that it was her house and so made sense for her to be at the head of the table. And now I so like what you said about their positions :)

Oh, it could go either way, for sure; naturally she would be at the head of the table in her house. We'd expect no less! It just came to mind seeing the pic you posted, with the empty place set for Zak (also a hint of things to come??). Glad you enjoyed. :D

Oh, and that gorgeous icon of them in profile, not looking at each other and surrounded by darkness... the OTP of it all. <3

I don't like the cut of the dress very much, but ooh, she does look so lovely in it, especially with the moody colors surrounding her, and the contrast to her regular dress blues.

I initially thought it was a full-length dress because we never get a full-length view of Kara in it, and it would have actually been pretty if it was.

It wasn't till all the props were auctioned off that I checked out the catalogue and saw that the dress was knee-length, which of course would have thrown things off COMPLETELY. Such a good thing they chose to shoot her only from the knees up :)

*feels funny right along with you* They are SO BLUE.

I'm so glad EJO was the one who wore contacts to match Jamie's eyes instead of the other way around, since Jamie was doing the accent. It would have been criminal to cover up those peepers with brown contact lenses ;)

Interesting--for some reason, I'd thought it was a knee-length dress, and that was part of why I didn't like it. You're definitely right, it would have been pretty as a full-length dress, all flowy and soft. I wonder if Katee had any opinion about it.

Of course, maybe being knee-length meant that Kara could kick more ass in it than a floor-length gown? ;)

Are we also talking about all the favourite ways they've been described in fic? Because I can't help but think that would be delicious and awesome. Only I don't ever seem to read fic enough, and couldn't remember any descriptions even if I did!

The only descriptive words I can currently think of are pure and piercing. Oh, and for some reason, the idea of describing his glances "like blue kisses". Fangirlly enough? XD

THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. I LOVE THIS STUFF MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY.

"Blue kisses" is a new one! That's fantastic!

I love when colors are used. Personal favorites are sapphire and azure. Bonus points if you can use cerulean.

LUV LUV LUV LUV LUV. :D

BECAUSE IT MAKES US ALL FLUTTERY IN THE HEARTS.

Ooh, now I want little snippets of how his blue eyes strike different characters. Like ... I don't know,


Laura sat in the witness box, briefly stunned. She held Lee's eyes, and couldn't help but remember their blue from what seemed like so long ago. Blue, artless and earnest, blue for sweet youth and open like the planetary skies they'd left behind, a determined blue, sapphire-strong, full of light with shadings of naiveté. It had only been a few years. Really only a few years. But now, she looked into those blue eyes and all she could see was steel.
