"Deeper Shade of Blue" is a song by British dance-pop group Steps, released as the band's ninth single. It is an uptempo pop song about the darker side of life and an attempt to break free. It was the fifth song to be released from the group's second studio album, Steptacular (1999). The song was originally recorded by Tina Cousins, but, aside from a few promotional 12-inch records, her version remains unreleased. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number four and spent one more week in the top 10 before falling down the charts. After a total of nine weeks, it left the top 100.

The first two verses are performed by Ian "H" Watkins and Claire Richards, respectively, whilst all five members perform the middle eight. The chorus also features all five voices. In October 2011 following the reformation of the band, they performed the track on Lorraine and Loose Women. The song was included on Steps's compilation albums Gold: Greatest Hits (2001), The Last Dance (2002), and The Ultimate Collection (2011).
