''Blue is the Warmest Colour'' (''Le Bleu est une couleur chaude'') is a French graphic novel authored by Julie Maroh and published by Glénat in March 2010. Arsenal Pulp Press published an English translation in 2013.
Clémentine, a high school student, struggles to define her sexual identity, between taking a false boyfriend, kissing back a friend on her lips (said friend having kissed her by jest) and having homoerotic dreams fueled by a [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue-haired girl]] she met in the street on the arms of another woman.
The day after she dumps her [[TheBeard beard]], her friend Valentin comes out of the closet and brings her to a gay bar, where she meets the blue-haired girl (an art student named Emma) and her girlfriend, Sabine. Thus begins a love triangle between the three girls, with Emma eventually dumping Sabine for Clémentine.
This novel was [[FilmOfTheBook adapted into a film]] called ''Film/BlueIsTheWarmestColour'' by Abdellatif Kechiche in 2013.
