28 Types of Slate Blue

 , updated on January 21, 2024
Slate blue is based on the characteristic color of the sedimentary rock known as slate. This is the iconic color of stones and rocks such that it is perceived as stable, cold, hard and durable. Historically, slate is used to describe a large number of colors including greys, greens, purples and blues. The classic color guide known as the 1912 Color Standards and Color Nomenclature lists slate blue as slightly grey and purplish. Modern slate blues are more likely to be slightly greenish.
