blue-gray

Stormy ocean hue

Blue-gray is a color between blue and gray, often describing eyes, sky, or sea in certain light conditions: Her blue-gray eyes matched the overcast sky.

The color suggests coolness and muted tones—more subdued than pure blue, less drab than plain gray.

Also spelled blue-grey.
