Sirocco — Named for the hurricane-force winds that sweep up through the Mediterranean into Europe, Sirocco falls into the gray or blue-green color family because it contains significant green and blue values, making it a neutral color with cool undertones. While the overall impression is that of a grayish-teal or a muted, desaturated blue-green, it can also be described as a toned blue-green, where gray has been added to a pure hue to reduce its saturation.
