Light Glaucous Blue

#a5c8d1

Light Glaucous Blue is a soft, grayish blue-green, muted like the waxy bloom on a plum or a eucalyptus leaf, which is what the botanical word glaucous describes. Its gray softens anything around it. Dark Tyrian Blue anchors it in a quiet navy scheme, Etruscan Red warms it with terracotta, and Citrine adds a mustard note that feels mid-century. At around 1.8:1 on white it should stay a background or fill, with dark text placed on top. Consider it for linen curtains, ceramic tableware or the walls of a sunny hallway.
