Prussian Blue

PPG1154-6

Prussian Blue is a mid blue gray that has a muted teal undertone, lighter than the historic name suggests. It feels balanced. The color belongs in a home office, vanity, or built-in shelving when navy would be too dark.

Warm white keeps it comfortable; antique brass adds balance. In shaded corners, it turns more slate. A satin finish helps cabinetry show the blue.
