Colours evoke physical reactions. Blue has calming properties. Chromotherapy. Colours have an effect on our body and help to combat various undesirable states. Blue makes us happy in the Mediterranean countries. Soothes high temperatures. Reduces appetite. It quenches thirst.

It has disappeared from our world in recent decades. It is dying out. Phone box, internet cafe, VCR, cobbler, playing on a whack-a-mole, walkman, clockwork, floppy disk, abacus, caps game, corset maker, Caspian tiger, Taiwanese mist panther, carcharhinus obselorus shark.

The latest update of the Red List of Threatened Species shows that 31 plant and animal species have gone extinct in the last year. The disappearance shatters working ecosystems. On the brink of extinction are koalas, lemurs, squid. However, there are also winners: the bison, the grey seal, the moose.
