Blue Gray has a cool dignified effect whether painted on a wall or worn as a stylish tailored coat. Its coolness and complexity make it the perfect color to use in artworks of waterfalls and stormy clouds because it communicates strength and solemnity.

How the color is made: Blue Gray is created by combining Very Pale Cyan and Very dark Blue to achieve a dusty cool color.

History: Traditionally, Blue Gray was used by artists to depict authority and stability. Because it was created where Blue and Gray meet on a canvas it is often seen where shadows form or to create dimension, for example in Michaelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam.”
