Color Me This -Contest

A beautiful morning sky.
Watching the birds fly by.
Always associated with something ominous, 
not usually with something good causing bliss.

The least hot color in terms of fire.
It also means a star did just expire.
Having a car this color gets you more tickets for speeding, 
but that fact may be slightly misleading.

Some people are said to dream in this hue.
Meaning they are very spiritual if they do.
If you haven't guessed it yet, its on the tip of your nose.
It is the most given color of a valentine's day rose.
