steel-blue
Cool metallic hue
Steel-blue is a grayish blue resembling the color of polished steel—cooler and harder than sky blue, with a metallic quality.
It describes eyes, fabric, water, or anything with that particular muted, industrial shade: Her steel-blue eyes watched him without expression.
The lake turned steel-blue under the overcast sky.
