Blue is the color of Infinity. Whatever is immeasurable can appear to the mortal eye only as blue; thus a cloudless summer sky is blue to us. The yellow represents the earth. Anything that is buried in the earth gathers a yellowish hue, and in fire, earth (mud, silica) glows yellowish. Thus, Sri Narayan represents the immeasurable, all-pervading reality (blue color) clothed in earthy matter (yellow color), meaning Sri Narayan is the Infinite clothed in matter. He is the Infinity expressed through a finite form.
