Colors That Start With S

S names run from pale Seashell to vivid Scarlet, with plenty of sea, sky, and silver shades in between.

Some S names give a useful clue to the shade. Sienna and Sepia are browns; Sky Blue and Sea Blue point toward cooler hues.

Others are less obvious. Soap is pale lavender, and Steel Pink is a strong purple-pink rather than a metallic gray. Silver and Silver Pearl share #C0C0C0 here, so they appear as one swatch.

Nine S color swatches: Seashell, Salmon Pink, Saffron Yellow, Sage Green, Seafoam Green, Sky Blue, Scarlet, Sapphire Blue, and Smoky Black.
