Bone China Blue vs Celestial Blue
Both from Little Greene's palette. Hue-wise, Bone China Blue belongs to the blue-grey family and Celestial Blue to the blue-green family. Bone China Blue (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Celestial Blue (LRV 44), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Bone China Blue runs blue while Celestial Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Bone China Blue vs Celestial Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Bone China Blue and Celestial Blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Digital color is approximate.
