*“Blue Gray” is a specific Liquitex BASICS color. It is the dominant color in the background of this painting. There are some craft paint brands that are similar to this color such as “Dark Blue Gray” by Apple Barrel, “Cloudy Day” by FolkArt or “Winter Blue” by DecoArt. Alternatively, you can take any light gray and add just a little into it to tint the gray blue.
