What is the colour of the wind?

The wind is a flow of gases on a large scale. On Earth the wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In meteorology winds are referred to according to their strength, and the particular direction which the wind is blowing from. In human civilization wind has inspired mythology, impacted the events of history, expanded the range of transport mechanisms and it has provided a power source.


There are various types of general wind classifications such as calm, light air, light breeze, strong gale, whole gale and hurricane etc. But the colour of the wind has not been determined. I think that the colour of the wind is different shades of blue. Depending on the general wind classification, the colour will then change.

When the wind is blowing calmly, and there’s a light air, light breeze and it is gentle, the colour of the wind is then a very light, almost transparent blue. When there is a moderate and fresh breeze the colour would then be a very soft, baby blue colour. At times when things start becoming a bit more rough, in a strong breeze, moderate and fresh gale situation the colour would then be royal blue. The colour would change to navy blue when there is a whole gale and a storm. And then the most dramatic colour for the most dramatic wind classification, once a Hurricane hits, the colour of the wind would then be a very deep, dark blue that is almost black in colour. So depending on the mood of the wind and it’s classification, one could determine the colour of the wind based on those two aspects.
