It is well known that the colour of an item can influence how people perceive it and interact with it. The reason why the colour blue is so significant is because it is the colour of royalty and aristocracy. This is why when you tell people that you are buying something ‘blue’, you are usually going to be buying something valuable and special. With that being said, blue is also the colour of scams and cons, so when you are purchasing something with the expectation that it is not what it appears to be, then you might end up regretting it.

What is the blue pill you might ask? Well, it is the real deal, pure gold as opposed to the worthless metal that most people believe it to be. In reality, the blue pill is a lot more complicated than you think. It is a combination of several factors that together form a solid foundation for a lucrative and satisfying scamming experience. Still don’t believe me? Let’s explore. 

The Legal Side: The Blue Pill Provides A Safe, Private And Confident Buying Experience

One of the things that makes the blue pill so appealing is that it provides a relatively safe and private way to buy and sell items. Nowadays, people are much more accustomed to doing business online or via text message than in person, especially when it comes to buying and selling items that can be easily transported. This is why the blue pill is often touted as the real deal because it provides people with the ability to conduct transactions in a manner that is quick and easy while still maintaining the element of trust and confidentiality that comes with shopping ‘under the radar’. For example, say you want to sell your van. Instead of going to a garage and having to expose yourself to potential thieves, you can list it on eBay or any other online marketplace and remain completely anonymous. In this manner, the blue pill provides people with a way to conduct business that is convenient and cost-effective. In the age of the internet, what is more convenient and cost-effective than shopping online?

The Psychological Side: The Color Blue Means Authority And Prestige

It is well known that the colour blue can influence how people perceive and interact with things. This phenomenon is called ‘colour pop’ and was first described by Michael A. Messick, a professor of marketing at the University of South Carolina, in his book ‘The Effect of Colour on Sales’. In his research, Messick found that “colour pop’ had a significant effect on product perception, stimulating interest and enhancing the desirability of the product”. This is why the majority of luxury items that are sold in the market are of a blue nature. In the same way that royalty and aristocracy are associated with the colour blue, psychology has also linked the colour to prestige and high moral standards. For example, in one study, participants were shown images of products that were either positively or negatively associated with the colour blue. As expected, the participants rated these products as being more or less prestigious and moral than the ones that were not associated with the colour blue. This study provides evidence to support the claim that colour can influence how we feel and think about things. In the case of the blue pill, I would definitely agree that it serves as a symbol of prestige and excellence, especially in the sex industry where submissive and obedient women are the desirable commodity. To further cement this idea, let’s take a quick trip back in time to the year 1543 when the first example of a successful scam using the blue pill was uncovered. In this example, a French woman named Jeanne LeRoy was found guilty of witchcraft and condemned to death by hanging. Before her execution, Jeanne had the opportunity to speak with the King and plead her case. During this conversation, it was revealed that she was part of a widespread scam that had been operating in France for several years. She confessed to using her powers to compel people to buy expensive gifts and jewels, which she later swapped for gold and other precious metals. After her arrest, a wave of similar cases followed in which women were accused of using witchcraft and hexing to dupe men into scams and then punishing them for being gullible. In essence, it was a classic ‘bait and switch’ ruse. Today, much more sophisticated variations of this scam have evolved that are even harder to detect. At the click of a button, you can be lead to websites that look completely legitimate but which, upon further inspection, you will discover are actually dedicated to tricking you into purchasing some sort of fake product that will be revealed to be either faulty or of a low quality. In this way, you are assured of getting your money back ‘handsomely’ (at least according to the perpetrator) should you decide to return the item or items you purchased. In all of this, the colour blue continues to play a significant role. It is used as a marker of quality, luxury and prestige, and conversely, it is associated with all things that are perceived as being low quality, cheap and worthless. This may explain why so many scams and cons use the colour blue to their advantage. 

The Financial Side: The Blue Pill Provides A Bonanza For The Scammers

One of the great things about the blue pill is that it provides scammers with a veritable goldmine. Nowadays, people are much more used to doing business online than in person, especially when it comes to buying and selling items that can be easily transported. This is why the blue pill is often touted as the real deal because it provides people with the ability to conduct transactions in a manner that is quick and easy while still maintaining the element of trust and confidentiality that comes with shopping ‘under the radar’. For example, say you want to sell your van. Instead of going to a garage and having to expose yourself to potential thieves, you can list it on eBay or any other online marketplace and remain completely anonymous. In this manner, the blue pill provides people with a way to conduct business that is convenient and cost-effective. In the age of the internet, what is more convenient and cost-effective than shopping online?
