Ballet Blue is a mid-tone, rich blue with a clear, cool feel. It suggests ballet slippers, dance recitals and tutus, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as sky blue, ocean blue, azure or cerulean, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.
Ballet Blue is a medium blue with a modest violet lean. It sits firmly in the blue family, giving it a calm and classic feel, while its medium saturation keeps it more graceful than electric. Its hue of around 216° gives it a clear blue character, its saturation of about 53% provides enough strength for focal elements, and its value of about 78% keeps it bright, readable and balanced.
