Using light blue in your home

Light Blue suits rooms with moisture, morning light, or a need for visual quiet: baths, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and porch ceilings. North light can make it icy, so warmer whites help. South light gives pale blue more ease. Pair with warm white trim, pale oak, sand, nickel, or soft navy. White trim matters. Too stark a white can make Light Blue read like a cold nursery color.

Frequently asked questions

Will Light Blue make a room feel cold?

It can, especially in north light. Choose a blue with a little gray green softness and use warm white trim.

Is Light Blue dated?

Light Blue is not dated by itself. It dates a room when it is paired with glossy white furniture and very sweet nursery details.

Best Light Blue paint colors?

Look at Glidden Abyss (LRV 89.7), Sherwin-Williams Silent Ripple (LRV 74), or Behr After Rain (LRV 84.1).
