Dark Blue I a variation of Blue. As such, it can be thought of as having many of the same
characteristics of Blue, because Dark Blue contains small portions of Yellow and Red, it will have a
slightly different effect than Blue when used for mixing. For instance, Dark Blue will cause a
noticeable difference from Blue when applied to Orange. This is due to the fact that as you add Dark
Blue, you are adding Blue, Red and Yellow. Red and Yellow make Orange. So in effect, you are
adding Blue and Orange, to Orange. Dark Blue has more of a flattening effect on the colors its added
to than Blue does, because it contains Red and Yellow.
Within our system, Dark Blue is most often used to produce a flat Blue (one that is not too
bright), such as teal Blue or a flat color that has Blue as a dominant color (Forest Green, Moss
Green, Steel Grey, etc…), or added to Browns.

restoration dye for Green Carpet.
