How to use DMC 336 in patterns
Navy Blue sits in the Blues family and works as a cool detail and background color. It is a natural fit for sky, water, winter scenes, denim tones, shadows, and calm borders, and for cool contrast against warm reds, oranges, and yellows.
- Pairs well with whites, grays, warm golds.
- Pattern ideas: ocean patterns, winter scenes, sky backgrounds.
- Also useful for background areas that need depth without becoming too dark.
