Farrow & Ball

Light Blue

No. 22

Light Blue is a cool, muted blue with noticeable green-gray undertones that shift depending on available light. With an LRV of 72.6, it reflects a good deal of light and reads as airy without appearing stark. It is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and coastal-style interiors where a quiet, receding color is useful.

The green in its undertone keeps it from feeling icy under cooler lighting. Shaded White and Slipper Satin work well for trim, while Pigeon or Card Room Green can provide tonal continuity. For sharper definition, Railings can anchor doors and joinery.
