Kékfekete

Kékfekete is a color term used in Hungarian to describe a very dark blue with a blackish undertone. The word is a compound of kék (blue) and fekete (black) and refers to a family of shades rather than a single standardized color. The exact appearance of kékfekete varies with material, lighting, and context; on textiles it may read as a deep blue-black with a discernible blue depth in daylight, while under artificial light it can appear almost black.

In practice, kékfekete is used across fashion, interior design, graphic arts, and decorative crafts to convey formality, depth, and cool undertones. It is also found in heraldic or traditional finishes where a non-pure black is desired, offering a restrained, sophisticated alternative to true black.

Color representation in digital spaces is not fixed for kékfekete; it is typically modeled as a very dark color with a blue bias, yielding low brightness with a stronger blue component than pure black. Because it is a descriptive term rather than a standardized color code, the exact shade labeled as kékfekete can differ between brands, materials, and display conditions.
