bluishgray

bluishgray is a neutral color produced by mixing blue with gray, yielding a cool, subdued hue that sits between blue and gray on the color spectrum. The term bluishgray, sometimes written bluish-gray or bluish gray, describes a gray with a noticeable blue cast rather than a pure, neutral gray.

In practice, bluishgray spans a range from medium to dark values. Light bluishgray can read as a pale gray with a gentle blue tinge, while deeper versions read almost charcoal with a cool blue undertone. Undertones tend to be bluish rather than green or purple, giving the color a crisp, slightly chilly feel.

Applications of bluishgray include interior design, fashion, graphic design, and product styling. In interiors, it pairs well with white, black, timber tones, and metallic accents; in clothing, it appears in suits and outerwear for a formal, contemporary look; in digital media it functions as a cool neutral for backgrounds or UI elements.

Similar colors: bluishgray is closely related to slate gray (approximately #708090) and steel blue (approximately #4682B4); however, bluishgray denotes a gray base with a blue tint rather than a distinct blue hue.

Symbolism and perception: the color conveys calm, professionalism, and restraint from warmth. Its neutral, cool character makes bluishgray versatile across palettes and environments.
