Pool Blue

The color of tropical waters from exotic locales, pool blue is a vibrant shade of blue with subtle green undertones. This gentle hue speaks of easy, breezy days and lighthearted moments spent with loved ones. In fashion, this calming hue most often appears in weddings. In particular, it shines for bridesmaids’ dresses, matching accessories for groomsmen, bouquets, and decorative items for celebrations after the nuptials. Pool blue brightens and surprises in interiors, walking the line between serenity and sincerity. Paint an entire room this hypnotic hue for an unexpected jolt of color, then pair it with cream furnishings and dark brown accessories. It also pairs nicely with warm metals, such as gold, bronze, and brass. Pool blue is not your typical blue. Peaceful and positive yet extroverted, this hue invites comfort and confidence. Often associated with celebratory times, such as weddings and relaxing summer afternoons, this intoxicating shade is a lovely way to infuse a sense of freshness into your personal space.
