How to sign “Blue” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Blue” instead
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into a B: fingers extended together, thumb folded across the palm.
- Hold the B-hand out in front of your shoulder, pointing toward your conversation partner.
- Twist your wrist side to side in a small shake, like shivering 'brr'.
- Keep the shake in the wrist — the elbow stays still and the motion stays compact.
- Match it with a slight shiver in your shoulders to sell the 'cold blue' feeling.
Practice tip
Think shivering in the cold — the B-hand trembles like you are chilly.
