Discover the "Blush Bay" color palette, a sophisticated and serene collection inspired by the tranquil beauty of the coast at dawn. This palette gracefully combines the cool, calming tones of Bluesteel (18-4222 TCX) and Nantucket Breeze (14-4005 TCX), reminiscent of the misty sea. These are perfectly balanced by the soft, romantic blush of Ash Rose (17-1514 TCX) and Sweet Lavender (16-3931 TCX), giving a nod to the gentle glow of the sunrise. Grounded by the rich warmth of Cocoa Brown (18-1222 TCX) and the sandy softness of Pampas (14-0826 TCX), this palette is ideal for creating designs that are both elegant and subtly inviting.

The 'Blush Bay' palette is a vibrant journey that defines a delicate dance of tones. The foundational theme is established by a family of related dark azure tones, including 'Bluesteel' and 'Sweet Lavender', which provide a stable visual anchor. This base is given a dynamic counterpoint by a series of surprising splashes of color, including 'Ash Rose', 'Cocoa Brown', 'Nantucket Breeze' and 'Pampas', that prevent the composition from feeling predictable. The palette's dynamic range is defined by the deep, grounding presence of 'Cocoa Brown' and the luminous highlight of 'Nantucket Breeze'. This versatile palette strikes a compelling balance between grounding neutral tones and vibrant, colorful accents, offering a flexible toolkit for a wide range of creative applications. This versatile color story is perfectly suited for high-end home textiles and accessories, as well as creating standout apparel collections.
