Color Closeup- Our Blues

We got a lot of great feedback about our color blogs so far! This post is going to be all about our blue shades! This group is, oddly enough, a hard color group to find an “everyday item” for. The objects we decided to use for comparison are an average recycling bin and my manager’s 2010 Atomic Blue Honda Civic. If you’re wondering what color blue that is, I like to refer to it as “Prius Blue”. Let’s be honest,, you see these cars everywhere. In fact, you probably got cut off in traffic by one on your way home from work yesterday- and it could've been my manager! All jokes aside, here is the comparison using the recycling bin below.

 With that being said, my main goal is to convey exactly how the blues vary from each other and focus on how tricky they can be on our color chart. I will begin by saying that Navy #50 is our darkest blue shade and Powder Blue #172 is our lightest blue shade. The colors go down from darkest to lightest as shown in the photos but there are a few key colors to pay attention to. Brilliant Blue #86 is a very tricky blue. This guy has a bit of a violet tint but it's still a bright, yet dark blue color, making it truly “brilliant”! Muted Blue #57 and Dusk Blue #51 are often confused as being the same color, but Dusk Blue #51 is just a little bit darker. The last blue that always tricks people in our previews is Geyser Blue #173. Although it is hard to tell, if you look closely at the recycling bin photos, Geyser Blue #173 is actually a little brighter than Ice Blue #56. This color really “pops” when compared to the neighboring blues.
