The figure of speech in the statement "I'm feeling blue today" is an example of a metaphor. This metaphor uses the word "blue" to describe feeling sad or downhearted. The double meaning of this figure of speech is that the word "blue" can also refer to the actual color blue, which is represented in the image. So, the statement not only conveys the speaker's emotions but also makes a comparison to the color blue to emphasize the extent of their sadness.
