Salvia Blue

#97acc8

Salvia Blue is a dusty, light-medium blue with a gentle periwinkle cast, closer to faded denim than to a clear sky. It is one of the more sociable colors in the set, appearing in 13 combinations. Sulpher Yellow gives it a soft, pastel calm, Apricot Yellow makes the pair bright and graphic, and Deep Indigo pulls it into a tonal blue study. With about 2.3:1 on white it should not carry text there, but on black it reaches roughly 9:1. Try it in a nursery, on chambray textiles or as a quiet section background.
