Shipwreck bow color reference
When a ship sinks, its hull can slowly become an artificial reef. Corals, sponges and seaweed settle on the metal or wood, and fish move in to shelter. Divers visit many old wrecks for this reason.
Colors to reach for
Use weathered gray-brown for the wooden planks, muted green for the growth on them, and deep blue for the water around the wreck.
- warm gray
- brown
- olive green
- navy blue
- teal
