Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz supply service.
A Blue wire is normally the "Neutral" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply.

A Brown wire is normally the "Live" wire on a standard 230 Volt supply.

A Green/Yellow wire is normally the "Earth" or "Ground" wire.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Why is the ski blue?

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.


How do you connect a ceiling fan with white green black and blue wires on the ceiling fan?

Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.


How do you connect a ceiling fan with white green black and blue wires one the ceiling fan?

This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.

What makes the sky and the blue?

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. The the shorter wavelengths (blue) in the white light from Sunlight are absorbed by the gas molecules in the air. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you and you see the blue light from everywhere overhead making the sky look blue. The same principle makes the sea look blue. At sunset the light must travel farther through the atmosphere before it gets to you. More of the blue light is reflected and scattered and the only the longer wavelengths (red) are left in the direct beam that reaches your eyes, making the setting sun red.

How do you wire a 240 volt light fixture?

Does it have a name plate or instructions on how to wire it? the wire that you pulled black,red or red ,blue goes to one of the fixture leads and the other color to the remaining fixture lead. green to green for your grounding conductor. As always if you are unsure consult a qualified person in order to be safe!
