About the shade
Storm Glass is a dark blue-gray with a thread of green running through it. It's darker and grayer than Coastal Lagoon and bluer than Juniper Green. In daylight it looks like slate with a blue cast, and in low light it deepens toward charcoal. That hint of green keeps it from feeling cold, so it sits easily beside warm wood and brass.
Where you'll see it
The sky right before a storm rolls in, deep lake water, weathered shutters, and slate after rain. It's in the ocean on a gray winter day, a heron's feathers, old blue jeans, and the shadows of pine trees at dusk. Look for it in pewter, a mussel shell, and hills with fog sitting on them.
In your home
A home office, a bedroom, kitchen cabinets, or the outside of the house. It pairs well with white, brass, terracotta, oak, and soft cream. On walls it makes a room feel tucked in, especially with warm lamps and wood floors. If you'd rather start smaller, try it on a kitchen island, a bathroom vanity, a front door, or a set of linen curtains.
In everyday life
A raincoat, a favorite pair of jeans, a ceramic bowl, or the little things on your desk. It's in a wool sweater, a canvas tote, a stoneware mug, or a leather notebook. It's easy to wear and easy to live beside, a color that goes with nearly everything in a closet.
COLOR AND SPIRIT
Blue-grays are often linked with the throat chakra, associated with honest expression and clear thinking. In feng shui, slate blue belongs to the water element, tied to wisdom and depth. Labradorite and kyanite are crystals often connected with this shade, labradorite known in many traditions as a stone of transformation. Some people like a color like this in the room where they work through big decisions.
