Basic Information

  • Rich Regals 1997 to 2010

Bordering Blue is a medium-light, muted blue with a clear, cool feel. It suggests rain clouds, soft denim and slate blue, 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.

Color Theory

Bordering Blue is a muted blue with a subtle clear blue influence. It sits near the blue area, giving it a cool presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 212° gives it its clear blue character, its saturation of about 18% makes it feel muted rather than flat, and its value of about 75% gives it a medium-light, usable weight.
