Mineral blue

A dark, precise blue with controlled saturation.

This shade of blue possesses high density and low brightness, creating a strong sense of depth. Its cool temperature conveys clarity, while its mineral quality suggests stability. From a perceptual psychology perspective, it appears serious, orderly, and quietly elegant. It evokes associations with gemstones, ocean depths, and night-like layers of color.

Historically, this shade of blue can be found in handcrafted dyes, maritime traditions, and architectural facade colors. In fashion, it appears in velvet, heavy denim, wool, and technical performance fabrics. In interiors, it accentuates structural zones and harmonizes with metallic surfaces, dark wood, and chalky neutrals. In compositions, it provides a stable counterpoint to warm natural tones and references both classic design traditions and modern color minimalism.
