Little Boy Blue

2061-60

Little Boy Blue is a clean, light blue with a cool, slightly aqua undertone that keeps it from reading purple or gray. With an LRV of 61.52, it reflects a moderate-to-high amount of light and maintains its blue identity without overwhelming a space. It has enough saturation to read clearly as blue rather than as a tinted white.

Spring Sky and Morning Sky Blue complement it in tonal gradation, while Blueberry Hill or Chantilly Lace offer contrast. Pale Oak and Simply White work as grounding neutrals alongside it.
