Basic Information

  • Bold Brights 1997 to 2010

Brilliant Blue is a deep, bright blue with a clear, cool feel. It suggests primary color themes, bright skies and school themes, 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.
