The Deep Pacific Blue
Glide 90285 Pacific is the deep, vivid blue of the Pacific Ocean — a clear, intense, purely blue thread with the vast depth of the open ocean. More purely blue than Ocean or Sea Green, deeper than Azure or Cerulean, Pacific occupies the specific vivid deep-blue position of the open ocean at its most vivid. For marine, coastal, and ocean-inspired quilts where blue should feel genuinely vast and oceanic, sitting alongside Marine at the deep end of the coastal family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pacific differ from Navy?
Navy is dark to the point of near-black formality; Pacific keeps full blue vividness while staying deep. Under quilting light, Navy reads as a shadow neutral, while Pacific reads unmistakably as saturated ocean blue. For maritime quilts that should feel alive rather than formal, Pacific is the stronger choice.
Is Pacific or Dark Aqua better for deep-water sections?
Pacific is purely blue; Dark Aqua carries a distinct teal-green influence. Open-ocean and deep-horizon sections read truest in Pacific, while reef shadows and tropical deep water — where green light penetrates — match Dark Aqua more naturally. Many ocean quilts layer both for realistic depth.
What threads build a complete ocean gradient with Pacific?
A convincing water gradient runs from Sea Foam at the shore, through Aqua and Tropical in the mid-tones, into Dark Aqua and Pacific at depth, with Marine for the darkest navy-teal shadow. Keeping the whole gradient in Glide maintains a uniform sheen across the water.
