Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • Rich Regals 1997 to 2010

Brocade Blue is a mid-tone, rich blue with a clear, cool feel. It suggests vintage fabric, damask and formal patterns, 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

Brocade Blue is a soft 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 211° gives it its clear blue character, its saturation of about 40% makes it feel soft rather than flat, and its value of about 73% gives it a medium-light, usable weight.
