What does the color Tiffany symbolize?

Tiffany shade is often confused with turquoise, cyan, Prussian blue, aquamarine and mint. And most often they completely simplify it and call it blue. It really is similar to all these tones – just as fresh and light. It, like many shades of turquoise, has a noticeable green undertone, and its main tone is blue, generously diluted with white. The tiffany color evokes different associations: with cool water, the feathers of an exotic bird, but most often with chic, sophistication and life in a big city.

History and characteristics of the shade

This tone got its name in honor of the Tiffany & Co jewelry company of the same name, founded in the first half of the nineteenth century. One of its founders, Charles Lewis Tiffany, decided to use a very fashionable shade of turquoise as a brand name.

Popular gem

Deposits of turquoise were discovered in the western United States and this stone immediately gained popularity. There was even such a tradition: brides gave guests brooches in the shape of a bird made from this gem. BTW. Another official name for this shade is the color of a robin’s egg. And native English speakers call this tone Robin Egg Blue. Charles chose this tone for the cover of the Blue Book, a catalog of luxury jewelry. The goods began to be packaged in unique turquoise boxes. And at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889, the company chose this color to decorate its pavilion.

Successful and risky combinations

Tiffany color is capricious in terms of combinations. Especially in the interior. Let’s start with the most inharmonious ones.

Unsuccessful options

• royal blue;
• grassy green;
• khaki;
• blue;
• mint;
• aquamarine.

Risky combinations do not mean prohibited. With a skillful approach, such combinations can play out. To reduce the risk, share “signature turquoise” with another tone – insert neutral, safe shades between them.

Blue and tiffany are very similar, so their juxtaposition can be inexpressive.

COUNCIL. If you need to use similar tones, use this technique – take the same color for different surfaces, but at the same time make some colors more saturated, and some less saturated, with a lot of white paint. So all these tones will fit each other perfectly.

In the interior you can use different versions of the same color, which differ from each other only in lightness

• Silver – the same gray, but with shine. And tiffany and glitter are very similar concepts in mood.
• Brown. Moreover, almost all of its shades range from light to dark, black and chocolate.

Harmonious scales

We have compiled a table for the most beloved color duets by designers:

Colors that go with tiffany	Characters of combinations
Cherry, burgundy	The beauty here lies in the double contrast – both in lightness and temperature. Usually tiffany acts as a background, and cherry is introduced as accents
Purple, lavender	These paints have much in common with Tiffany – they are also derivatives of blue. Despite the similarity of tones, this combination looks unconventional and creative
Yellow, gold	If you take a photo of the interior in black and white, you will see that rich yellow and rich tiffany are equal in their lightness – the border between them will be barely noticeable. The combination of these shades is found in many real projects. Also often in turquoise rooms there is gold fittings.
Bronze	Bronze is a medium brown tone with a metallic sheen, good in textiles, metal furniture, and fittings. Bronze has a hint of vintage, so choose Tiffany not lacquered, but as if shabby
Terracotta, orange	These tones are relatives of brown and yellow, and they are just as good next to this exclusive blue shade. Orange and terracotta will reduce the degree of glamor that Tiffany exudes, and thereby fit into the boho style and other similar styles
Light green, rich green	This is the case when it is better to go to extremes and choose either pale light green or deep coniferous – with them “patented turquoise” will look most advantageous

What is Tiffany color and how did it become popular?

Tiffany color is a unique shade of turquoise. It resembles the surface of the sea or the tone of a forget-me-not flower, but more often it is compared to the color of a robin’s egg. The official name of the shade is Robin Egg Blue.

However, everyone knows it as the symbol of the jewelry house of the same name – Tiffany & Co. In 1837, company founder Charles Lewis Tiffany chose this shade to decorate his signature boxes and the Blue Book, a publication in which Tiffany still presents a new collection of jewelry every year.

In the 19th century, turquoise was very popular in the jewelry industry: it was used to decorate shop windows, boutiques, and promotional products. Color was associated with luxury.

Tiffany wanted to differentiate its brand from the rest and at the same time correspond to trends – and that’s how the new color Tiffany Blue was born. Unlike turquoise, it is closer to blue, looks colder and more delicate.

Since then, the unusual shade has been the official symbol of the company and is still protected by copyright. This means that other companies cannot use it for commercial purposes.

However, the shade has become so popular among the people that it can be seen not only on the famous Tiffany boxes:

• Fashionistas use a blue tint in their looks, introducing bright accessories and other details. This is a popular color when creating a delicate manicure.
• Tiffany blue has become a favorite shade in wedding decorations.
• Designers love to use color in interiors. According to Vogue, it looks great in any style – from minimalism to cozy hygge or grandma’s interior.

Thanks to Tiffany & Co. the delicate water blue hue has become synonymous with sophistication. The more popular the brand became, the more the girls dreamed of touching this sophistication. According to the Pantone Color Institute, Tiffany Blue provides such an opportunity. The shade is not subject to fleeting fashion and can bring luxury to anything.

Tiffany color in clothes: how to create a stylish look

Tiffany color is the ideal partner in creating sophisticated looks. Its freshness and naturalness are suitable for any appearance – both burning brunettes and delicate blondes, especially with green or blue eyes. In addition, the mint shade perfectly shades dark or tanned skin, and gives light skin a porcelain purity.

Still, in some cases, a cold shade can be insidious. If you haven’t gotten enough sleep or are sick, it will emphasize bags under your eyes and pale skin.

In addition, Tiffany’s color is quite bright and recognizable. If you don’t want to become a living advertisement for a jewelry brand, we recommend adding shade to your look in moderate doses.

Follow the rules of combination to make the outfit look harmonious:

• The least demanding colors are white and black. Use the Tiffany shade in this variation as an original accent.
• The most successful combination is with rich blue. The soft blue shade looks good with jeans, electric blue outfits and accessories.
• Shades of brown, especially rich chocolate or warm sand, will help dilute the cold Tiffany.
• An unexpected but successful combination – a mint shade in tandem with burgundy.
• Make the look warm using a sunny palette – yellow, orange, beige and their shades.
• Conversely, complete the cool palette with gray or silver. A bag or pumps in trendy metallic will be the ideal accompaniment to a soft blue outfit.

Be warned: Tiffany shade works well with a pastel palette, but it’s easy to get carried away here. An image consisting only of delicate flowers can look boring. Try to add one rich accent to a combination of two pastel shades.

A total look in Tiffany color is acceptable, but only for evening outings. Actress Kate Hudson chose it for Tiffany & Co.’s annual evening. and I was right. The delicate dress from the Reem Acra brand attracted the attention of paparazzi and fans, and the appearance became one of the most memorable in the star’s career.

In other cases, the Tiffany shade requires a careful approach. If you are in doubt about combinations, add just one detail of this color to your image:

1. The ideal option is an accessory in a mint shade. A watch or micro bag will be a spectacular addition to your outfit.
2. For an elegant sheath dress or a flowing skirt, Cosmopolitan stylists recommend lacquered pumps in Tiffany color. Pay attention to models with gold heels.
3. The very nature of color hints: use it in jewelry – precious or costume jewelry.

Therefore, you need to be very careful with color. We hope our recommendations will help you fall in love with the Tiffany color and create a harmonious image.
