Air Force Blue
Little Greene's Air Force Blue is a blue shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.

Color Codes
Manufacturer description
Little Greene Air Force Blue 260 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and softened grey undertone. It reads cool and slightly weathered rather than bright, giving walls clear color without becoming sharp or overly nautical. In strong daylight, the greenish side of the blue may come forward, while lower or north-facing light can make it appear smokier and more subdued. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a study wall, or exterior joinery alongside warm off-whites, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen. For contrast, pair Air Force Blue with earthy clay tones or a deep charcoal rather than a competing vivid blue.
