Cerulean – A Vibrant Medium Blue “With The Devil Wears Prada 2 in the works for 2026, it’s no surprise cerulean is making its way back to the spotlight,” says Natalie Hopkins, senior director of merchandising at S&S Activewear, PPAI 100’s No. 2 supplier. “Variations of similar blues have always been a staple in the promotional products industry for their versatility in outfitting and broad appeal.” This spring, the supplier is offering a wide range of styles in the popular blue from multiple brands at a variety of price points. This Five-Panel Performance Cap with contrasting rope detail on the visor comes in Carolina Blue, which leans toward cerulean but is softer and more universal. The UPF 50+ fabric shields wearers from the sun, and the back panels have laser-etched holes to give it an updated look and allow ventilation for added comfort.
