* [[TheSpock Mr. Spock]] of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' wears a blue shirt (the color of the science department) and is the most emotionally-restrained member of the crew (save for those times when something compromises his EmotionalSuppression).

* Magia Azul in ''Manga/GushingOverMagicalGirls'' zigzags this trope. She is the most stoic and composed member of Tres Magia although her [[TooKinkyToTorture innermost desires]] don't reflect this at all.

** ''Fanfic/SeraphinaTeaQuest'': Seraphina, an elegant and wise fairy, is mainly associated with the colour blue, even though the specifics of her appearance is rarely commented on.

** Inversions: ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'' star a GenkiGirl blue Cure along a gentle pink Cure, while ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'', ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'', ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'', and ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'' star more haughty/snarky blue Cures.

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': When the bioluminescent LivingMoodRing Mothra hatches as a larva, blue light signifies that she's calm and placid when the ORCA soothes her, in contrast to the [[RedIsViolent red glow]] which signifies she's aggravated. Alan Jonah meanwhile is a cold-blooded MisanthropeSupreme who has IcyBlueEyes from [[Creator/CharlesDance his actor]]. {{Inverted}} big time with the marine Godzilla: his atomic powers produce a blue light when he's using them to ferociously kick his enemies' asses, and at one point even when he's just feeling agitated.
* ''Film/Moonlight2016'': The beach scene where Juan gives Chiron a SymbolicBaptism that fundamentally changes Chiron is lit with blue, giving the scene calm and weighted importance.

* In ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', Ami's signature color is blue, befitting her calm, quiet, and intelligent personality.

* ''{{Franchise/Batman}}'':

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII:'' Bethany, the protagonist's younger sister, is the blue oni of the RedOniBlueOni pairing with her twin brother Carver. She has a bright blue background in her icon, and depending on her ultimate fate in the game, may be seen in later acts wearing a blue mage robe. She has easily the calmest and gentlest personality of any character in the game, and is one of the only members of Hawke's group who is universally liked by all the others.

** ''Anime/SmilePrecure'': Like Karen above, Reika Aoki/Cure Beauty, the team's blue Cure, is the smartest, the student council president, and generally the most graceful and level-headed of the team.
** ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'': Rikka Hishikawa/Cure Diamond, the blue Cure, is the team's voice of reason, and the more relaxed secratary to the energetic Mana's president.

** ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'': Saaya Yakushiji/Cure Ange is the mature and gentle blue partner to the pink GenkiGirl Hana/Cure Yell, usually keeping her in line. [[spoiler:In the future, she delivers Hana's daughter Hagumi in a calm manner, while Hana is [[ScreamingBirth screaming in pain.]]]]

Compare HeavenlyBlue, which pairs the divine with the color blue, and TrueBlueFemininity, where women (who were historically [[WomenAreWiser expected to be cool-headed and down-to-earth]] compared to men) wear blue. Also compare BlueMeansCold, which has a similar connotation since the cold itself is associated with calm, silence, and loneliness. Tropes like IcyBlueEyes may fall into both. See also BlueTropes. When blue represents melancholy/sadness in addition to calmness, see ColorCodedEmotions.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Leonardo wears a blue mask in most adaptations and is usually the calm and focused leader of the team.

** ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'': Saaya Yakushiji/Cure Ange is the mature and gentle blue partner to the pink GenkiGirl Hana/Cure Yell, usually keeping her in line. [[spoiler:In the future, she delivers Hana's daughter Hagumi in a calm manner, while Hana is [[ScreamingBirth screaming in pain.]]

* Oskar von Reuenthal is associated with the color blue in the OVA version of ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes''. He is less likely to jump into a scrap than his best friend, Wolfgang Mittermeyer (who is associated with Red). Reuenthal is, however, more likely to kill you once you get him mad.

* In one ''Series/HiFive'' song, the singer links [[ColorfulSong colours]] to [[SongOfManyEmotions emotions]]. She links blue with serenity.

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': Abe no Seimei's default attire is mostly light blue, reflecting his calm and stoic personality.

* The color Blue in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' pretty much embodies this to a T. It emphasises on knowledge, strategy and perfection and is opposed to red (representing emotions) and green (representing instincts and tradition). That said, not every Blue character is a a pitch-perfect emotionless person; Tezzeret, for example, has a HairTriggerTemper, but is still Blue thanks to the core motivations of seeking perfection and knowledge.

* Diana Cavendish from ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' is TheStoic who is very aloof, calm and rational compared to the rest of her peers. Fittingly, she is also frequently associated with the color blue, as she has IcyBlueEyes and much of her attire is colored blue, including the ribbon on her school uniform.

* Oskar von Reuenthal is associated with the color blue in the OVA version of ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes''. He is less likely to jump into a scrap than his best friend, Wolfgang Mittermeyer (who is associated with Red). Reuenthal is, however, more likely to kill you once you get him mad.

* ''WesternAnimation/AskTheStoryBots'': Bang is a very relaxed and laid-back [=StoryBot=] that happens to be blue.[[/folder]]

* In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', the titular [=MegaMan.EXE=] is far calmer and more responsible than his operator, Lan Hikari, who is BrilliantButLazy. Whereas Lan daydreams about food and rushes off to be the best [=NetBattler=] he can be, Mega Man regularly reminds him to do his homework and ot keep up with his responsiblities, often [[ServileSnarker quipping at his expense.]]
