The Eclipse Dark Blue
Glide 30532 Eclipse is positioned at the very dark end of the blue family — a blue so deep it approaches near-black while remaining clearly blue rather than neutral. On the darkest blue fabrics and for night-sky, cosmic, and deep-ocean designs, Eclipse provides the precise extreme-dark blue integration that neither standard navy nor black can deliver.
