The Soft Misted Aqua
Omni 3070 Fountain Mist describes its color identity in the name: the soft, misty blue of still water in a fountain -- somewhere between sky and sea, clear and fresh without being vivid or saturated. It is a muted, desaturated aqua-blue that functions almost as a cool neutral on light aqua and soft coastal-palette fabrics, integrating naturally where the more vivid turquoise and aqua threads would create too much contrast.
Where Fountain Mist Fits
The aqua-blue thread family needs both saturated vivid options (Light Turquoise, Medium Turquoise) and a softer, more muted option for the desaturated, misty end of the range. Fountain Mist is the softer option -- the thread for pale, muted, barely-there aqua fabrics; soft watercolor-inspired textiles; dusty coastal collections where the aqua has been sun-bleached; and contemporary quilts using the muted aqua palette that characterizes much of current coastal and transitional design work.

- Contemporary Transitional Neutral Quilts -- Modern quilts where aqua appears as a muted, near-neutral element rather than a bold color statement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fountain Mist more blue or more green?
Fountain Mist is slightly more blue-leaning than green -- a soft blue-aqua rather than a soft teal. On both pale aqua and soft sky-blue fabrics it integrates naturally. On distinctly greenish teal fabrics, Light Turquoise or Celery may be more accurate.
