Blue Steel Color – #535a61: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Blue steel is a gunmetal grey with a cool blue undertone, the color of a blued rifle barrel or a freshly forged blade. (Yes, it also shares a name with a Zoolander pose, but the color predates the joke by centuries.) It sits in that narrow range between grey and blue where neither side wins.
