sapphire

Sapphire No. 85 combines deep blue-green into a still, liquid color body.

Sapphire 85 is a saturated blue-green hue with deep brightness, high color density, and a distinctly cool temperature. The shade lies between petrol, sea blue, and a hint of emerald, creating a concentrated, almost liquid depth. It acts like a subtly shimmering background, sharpening contours and precisely framing objects. Psychologically, the tone combines serenity and seriousness with a quiet, contemplative luxury that appears more suggestive than consciously decorative.

Sapphire 85 evokes intensely colored glazes, deep inks, and richly pigmented fabrics. Historically, similar blue-green tones are associated with Art Deco interiors, modernist swimming pools, and cinema foyers. In fashion design, this shade is equally compelling on velvet, satin, and mohair, oscillating between evening wear and functional outerwear. The color truly shines when combined with dark wood, smoked glass, black steel, and polished stone. Sapphire 85 harmonizes beautifully with off-white, cool grays, misty pink, and muted sage green; for contrast, consider vibrant amber, vermilion, or metallic accents in brass and chrome. The result is an image of refined opulence that emphasizes depth without being heavy.
