Black and blue is the color of depth. It promotes calm, concentration, and immersion in the world of ideas.
If in combinations the black color gives “energy” to the color standing next to it, then when mixed with it, it gives calmness. All dark tones tend to be cold. Blue is basically cold, mixed with black, it represents something icy, deep, limitless. It is believed that black and blue is the color of sadness.
This color is also unknown, hidden from view, mysterious. Black-blue is the color of deep twilight, but unlike black, it has a sublime character. He is inclined not to archetypal symbols, but to conscious comprehension and scientific research.
We can say that this color belongs more to men than to women. Calm, thoughtful, a little reserved - characteristics of a male character. And this color is firmly entrenched in men's fashion. On fabrics, black and blue looks very prestigious, and most respectable people add it to their wardrobe.
On women, black and blue is regarded as a sign of intelligence, strong character and independence. They seem cold and unapproachable. Most often these are business women and strong leaders.

What colors of paint should be mixed to get brown?
Brown is considered complex; when creating it, you can use all the primary colors. There are several ways to get brown:
- Classic: green + red in proportions 50:50.
- The main trio: blue + yellow + red in equal quantities.
- Mixing: blue + orange or gray + orange. You can vary the intensity of the hue by adding less or more gray.
- Optional: green + purple + orange. This shade has a pleasant red or red tint. You can also mix yellow + purple - the color will have a yellowish tint.
The choice of paint today is good, but if you need a rare shade that is not on sale, you will have to mix several tones. We offer a color mixing table, which indicates which tones and in what proportion should be mixed to obtain the original shade.
- — The color of the paint manufacturer does not always correspond to the classic one, so the proportions may vary slightly,
- — Keep in mind that acrylic paint darkens when drying, as water evaporates and increases the concentration of pigment,
- — Do not spread all the paint at once - do a test spread,
- — The best mixing option is to use a mixer (attachment to a drill).
Working with paints is a fascinating process. Remember how you played with watercolors as a child, mixing paints. You can also play now. Mixing colors can be useful for renovations, hobbies, etc.
What colors does black and blue go with?
Black-blue is an alternative to black, and therefore all combinations will be based on the principle of contrast, which will have more weight even before the warm-cold resonance. Light, pastel colors against this background do not lose their color, but, on the contrary, become more juicy and luminous. In this case, even the warm-cold contrast does not play a role, because the main light captures our full attention.
Black and blue are combined with pink in a bright, contrasting pair, where the pink is much lighter than the main color and looks next to it like a luminous shade. Light, clean, medium-cool tones are preferred. For example, consider combinations with royal pink, white-lilac, lilac, medium pink, fuchsia.
The combination of black and blue with red is not as contrasting in lightness as with pink, but is more often used. The basis of this palette is a sharp thermal difference. Due to this, the combination looks balanced, strong and at the same time strict. The colors used in the table were red rose, carmine, ruby, cherry, and wine.
Black-blue and orange: a color combination based on additional contrast. The lighter the orange, the brighter the pair looks. However, medium colors also look very expressive. The composition turns out to be rich and deep, but sometimes it looks too catchy. The combination is built from light peach, peach, orange coral, tangerine, red-orange.
Black-blue color is combined with yellow into another contrasting pair, softer than the previous ones due to the reduction in the saturation of the shades, but at the same time maintaining the lightness. Light yellow, pale tones are a sophisticated accent against the background of the main tone. The palette includes vanilla, champagne, pale gold, mustard, yellow gold.
The combination of black-blue and warm green is based on combining shades of blue. Related tones look harmonious together, especially since they are complemented by warm-cold and light-dark contrast. The richer the shade, the richer the overall range. The palette includes pale green, chartreuse, lime, toad in love, and pine color.
How to combine black-blue and cool green? As in the previous case: the shades are related and therefore combine well with each other. Cold tones of green, especially very light ones, look unrealistic against the background of the main color, reminding us of the depths of the sea. The table is made up of water colors, menthol, neon green, emerald, malachite.
Color combination: black-blue and light blue, blue is a palette composed in one tone, where the main color is a deep shadow, and light colors are highlights or even light. The combinations are built using white-blue, aquamarine, thrush egg color, cean, medium blue.
Black and blue combined with purple creates an unreal picture, a fabulous glow in a magical night. The colors are united by a blue tone, and a warm-cold resonance also enters into contrast. The composition includes pale lilac, violet, cyclamen, purple, grape.
The combination of black, blue and brown is one of the softest and most attractive due to its not flashy, but natural harmony and softness. Brown tones make the main tone ordinary, but this in no way diminishes its dignity, but on the contrary, we begin to see it in a different light: close, accessible. The table used cinnamon, coffee with milk, coffee bean color, chestnut, coffee.
Black and blue combines with white, beige, gray, black. And in most cases, a pronounced light contrast works, which can be adjusted by the lightness of neutral tones. For a bright, unforgettable image, white colors are most suitable. To soften the combination and add grace, use beige. Gray will soften the overall palette, and black will only shade it slightly. Consider combinations with cream, light beige, lead, anthracite, and black.
Black and blue color in clothes
This could be a business suit or evening dress, casual wear or leisure wear. The main value of black and blue: it is as slimming as black. Of course, it is preferable for dark and “cold” color types, such as “winter” or “contrasting summer”, but if you are overweight, black and blue will be good for a light and warm appearance. Just don’t forget to combine it with light shades so that the color doesn’t seem gloomy. As a dark tone, black and blue is preferable in winter. Thick fabrics such as crepe, corduroy, wool, and knitwear are suitable for him.
Coding, marking and history
The idea of dividing wires by color is not new - the very first experiments, as old textbooks tell us, were carried out with multi-colored terminals and wires. The same uncomplicated simplicity remains in cars - you can hardly confuse the blue and red wires. True, he is sometimes black, but that's a completely different story.
When studying wiring, the most important ones to determine by wire color are not the phase, but the ground and zero; the phase can always be found using a detector screwdriver or (almost) any diode. But sometimes it becomes simply dangerous to confuse the colors of earth and zero, and it is necessary to determine in advance what color of wire phase zero-ground is.
The combination of black and blue in clothes
As already mentioned, black and blue goes well with lighter colors, and this also applies to clothing. Being close to black, the tone can be classified as a basic shade, so it will be multifunctional in the wardrobe: it will help create any look (from romantic to strictly business), it is good for everyday wear, it does not stain, is contrasting and not flashy.
The combination with black is graceful and expensive. However, if you add at least a light print to it, you can make it soft and even homey.
Gray gives the main tone softness and routine. The look is good for everyday use. It is often diluted with beige, black, or another dark chromatic color, such as a dark, cool green.
The combination of black and blue with light beige or cream is sophisticated, feminine and expressive. Such couples can be completely independent.
The brown shade is often supported by pairs with a lighter tone: white, beige or gray. But a pure combination with brown is no less attractive, although it has a lower contrast, like a combination with dark red.
Even blue and orange are a rich composition, the contrast of which is at its peak. It is better to limit the influence of orange: reducing it in quantity or complementing it with other neutral shades, such as white.
A soft onion is paired with pink: from pale pink to coral will help create a romantic look for you. Complemented with white, light beige or brown.
Yellow diversifies the basic color scheme for a summer or autumn wardrobe. Often complemented by white and maybe taupe.
Green is a neutral, relaxing, calm pairing for black and blue. It can be either independent or supplemented with white to increase contrast.
With this color you can create pleasant colors with blue and blue. Also, combinations with purple will add brightness to your wardrobe, especially in a complex combination.
How to mix paints to get the right color
Everything described above can be easily implemented in practice if you need “simple” colors, which are obtained from mixing primary and secondary colors. Adding achromatic ones to them will not be difficult. By experimenting with the amount of “additives”, you can eventually get exactly the shade you wanted. By the way, try to find your color in a small amount by mixing on the palette. At home, the palette can be replaced with a plastic plate. If you are mixing paint for interior use (on walls, for example), once you get the color you like, apply it to a small area and let it dry. You will see that the color has become a couple of shades lighter. And this must be taken into account when creating your own shade.
Mixing colors makes it possible to obtain a huge number of shades from a certain set of paints
How to get shades of red
We remember that red is one of the three main colors. It is impossible to obtain it by mixing some paints. It can be obtained as a pigment from natural sources. Using it as a base, adding other tones, we get its different shades. How to mix paints to obtain the desired colors (chestnut, raspberry, plum, pink, etc.) is indicated in the table.
Getting shades of red
Please note that some shades based on red - plum, for example, are difficult to classify as its shades. However, it is in red that the remaining components are added. In contrast, raspberry, which we are accustomed to consider one of the red shades, is made on the basis of blue. These are the games of color.
Burgundy and its shades
Separately, it is worth mentioning how to get a burgundy color. Its base is blue, add yellow and red. By changing the number of different components, we get different shades. To obtain dark tones, add brown or black; for brighter variations, add more red.
Black and blue color in the interior
If the room is decorated in black and blue tones, then these are most often cinemas, bowling alleys, clubs. From residential designs: bedroom, children's room, bathroom, toilet. Black and blue, like no other, is best suited for fluorescent designs. Stars, galaxies, underwater inhabitants, paintings of unreal landscapes and characters on the walls will enchant not only children, but also adults. Since black and blue is quite dark, you should light the room enough. Use organza with a slightly bluish (preferably aquamarine) or lilac tint on the windows. Provide plenty of diffused white light, perhaps from below the surface. A diode strip is perfect for lighting a room. Stretch the tape in the corners where the light from the lamps does not reach. When decorating a room in black and blue, leave one or two walls occupied only with drawings. You should not abuse the shelves, but an abundance of upholstered furniture and cushions will be very appropriate. Cover the floor with neutral-colored carpeting. Make the doors tinted glass or mirrored.
Black and blue will help you create an artsy, rich design that is close to nature and vintage chic. Such decorations often feature wooden coverings, various lush greenery, bronze and rose gold.
