blue grey

Muted storm color

Blue grey is a color that blends blue and grey, producing a muted, cool tone often found in stormy skies, slate, and certain animals' coats.

The shade sits between the two colors, leaning bluish without the full saturation of pure blue: blue-grey eyes, a blue-grey haze over the mountains.

Also spelled blue-gray.
