Intense medium blue

A fresh, slightly cool blue that has a bright transparency and conveys a calm, aquatic openness.

Orient 616 appears as a medium, cool blue with moderate saturation and high clarity. The tone possesses an airy freshness and appears open, light, and yet structured. Its perception conveys serene expansiveness and gentle coolness.

This shade is reminiscent of historical ultramarine and mineral blue pigments used in textiles, glazes, and paintings. In fashion, it is often used in combination with other water-based colors. In interiors, it harmonizes with white mineral surfaces, light wood, and polished metal finishes. In design compositions, it supports light, linear structures, lends a maritime precision, and creates visual lightness without sacrificing depth. It pairs incredibly well with the emerald green of the satin collection.
