What color is Little Greene Sky Blue?
Little Greene Sky Blue 103 is a light, clear blue with a gentle grey cast that keeps it from feeling overly sweet or icy. Its #add4de value gives it a softly muted, airy appearance, with a subtle cool lean and moderate brightness. On broad walls, Sky Blue can make bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms feel lighter without reading as stark white-blue. Pair it with chalky whites, pale grey, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, understated scheme. It also suits painted cabinetry or a ceiling where a quiet wash of color is wanted.

LRV of Sky Blue
Sky Blue has an LRV of 58.64% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 58.64%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
