It is never a color that I think of as "light blue," but varies between bluish green, greenish blue, and greenish grey as the light fades. My painter disliked working with it, because so thick that it goes on slowly. But I love the complexity of the color, which makes it more an atmospheric backdrop than a color statement in its own right. My guess is that any of the colors you ordered would be beautiful!bommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428607792478971766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-1829305856367100362011-03-23T07:55:58.844-05:002011-03-23T07:55:58.844-05:00I was sitting in a restaurant yesterday thinking h...I was sitting in a restaurant yesterday thinking how gorgeous the walls looked- some great shadow-y blue/grey/almost misty lavendar in spots color and (since I had just been on a recon mission and had my farrow and ball paint chart in my bag) I was shocked to see that it was skylight! It looks so blue on the card that I didn't think it would be so atmospheric on the walls. I immediately started thinking of places that I could use it, and I think that you need to give it a try on your walls to see what it does. I'm in love!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668499644450303275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-3234106048900481452011-03-21T20:45:12.360-05:002011-03-21T20:45:12.360-05:00Dianne - perhaps.
