Calm blue-green

A cool, striking color that combines depth, precision, and controlled modernity.

“Petrol 788 combines medium darkness with intense saturation and a distinctly cool temperature. The luminosity is subdued, giving the tone a focused and precise quality. Its perception evokes tranquility, structural clarity, and an atmospheric depth reminiscent of mineral and aquatic elements. The overall effect remains refined and decisive.”

Historically, Petrol 788 evokes the dark pigments of marine dyes used in artisanal glazes and traditionally dyed fabrics. In fashion, the shade established itself as a sophisticated alternative to classic blue, particularly in textured fabrics such as wool twill, leather, or technical textiles. In modern contexts, it creates a precise, graphic tension, while in historical settings it emphasizes a serene depth. In complex color compositions, it acts as an anchor tone, refining light neutrals and outlining warm, earthy tones.
