What color is Little Greene Delicate Blue?

Little Greene Delicate Blue 248 is a very pale, cool blue with a clean, lightly greyed cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its high lightness makes it well suited to walls in smaller bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms where a soft wash of color is wanted without closing in the space. In daylight, Delicate Blue shows its airy blue character more clearly, while warmer artificial light can make it appear quieter and closer to a pale blue-grey. Pair it with crisp white trim for a fresh contrast, or bring in pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and charcoal details for a more grounded scheme. This shade is most effective across broad wall areas, though it can also give simple cabinetry a subtle cool-toned finish.
