Cover art for She Paints Me Blue lyrics by Something Corporate

What's the deal with the blue and yellow? This song means alot to me because my boyfriend used it to tell me how he feels when we first starting dating...so it really bothers me that after all this time i've spent listening to the song, i still can't figure out what the central metaphor in it means? Yellow relying on blue? Painting someone blue? ::Confused::

i realize this post is super old, but i decided to answer it incase other people are confused.

blue and yellow are complimentary colors, so they 'rely on eachother'.

blue and orange are complimentary colors, not blue and yellow. yellow is complimentary to purple

Whenever I hear that part of the song I keep thinking blue + yellow = green. I think it's like how when you're in a relationship with someone it's sort of like you've become one person because of how close you become and how much you rely on each other. When blue and yellow are mixed together they're relying on each other so my interpretation is that blue and yellow represent them in there relationship and how much they need each other.
