A/N: Here is my first 221B, I do not know anything more irksome than getting a even 221 words, I actually threw my hands in the air when I finally made it.

I hope you enjoy it and I would love to read what you think of my little study in blue, it's been on my mind a while and I dug it out this weekend for you. It's from a tiny piece of "Remains Of The Day" that I wanted to do more explaining and study on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock I'm just visiting around with them.


Mrs. Hudson had never really liked the color blue before the boys, she just never thought much of the color until they showed up.

Blue: Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

But now through the years, the color had become something more to her, something significant and special. The color had come to have special meaning and memories for her: The flash of Sherlock's blue scarf as he dashed past her in the doorway after the ever present thrill and pursuit of the game.

Dark blue: Represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness.

The excited shine in John's clear blue eyes as he came and kissed her on the cheek before following suit through the door as the ever loyal friend and blogger that he was.

Light blue: Associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.

She never knew something as simple as a single color could hold and present such precious memories to a person as the color blue did to her. And if you ever happen to meet Martha Hudson of 221B Baker Street and ask her what Sherlock and John meant to her, she would laugh softly to herself and honestly say. "The color Blue."


A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for all the reviews and follows.
