Here's why:
* Color intensity: "Bluer" and "bluest" imply a shade of blue that is more or less saturated. This is rarely the most useful way to describe color.
* Subjectivity: "Bluer" and "bluest" can be subjective. One person's "bluest" might be another's "sky blue."
Instead of "bluer" and "bluest," we often use descriptive terms to compare shades of blue:
* Comparative: darker blue, lighter blue, more vivid blue, more intense blue, etc.
* Superlative: darkest blue, lightest blue, most vivid blue, most intense blue, etc.
Example:
* Instead of: "The sky is bluer today than yesterday."
* You would say: "The sky is a deeper blue today than yesterday."
Remember: The best way to describe shades of blue depends on the context and the specific nuance you want to convey.
