Sky blue vs Light blue
Both from RAL Classic's palette. Light blue (LRV 23) reflects noticeably more light than Sky blue (LRV 19), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
Sky blue vs Light blue Color Comparison
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.

Sky blue vs Light blue in Real Spaces
Sky blue and Light blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 2 room types where both colors have photos.
House
Seen across an entire facade, subtle tonal differences become pronounced. What reads as nearly the same on a chip often reads as clearly different at scale. Light blue reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The brightness difference is modest but present — Light blue gives the walls a little more lift.
