Balmy Blue is a very pale, soft aqua-blue with a fresh, airy feel. It suggests soft skies, spring air and gentle clouds, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as sea glass, pool blue, aqua or turquoise, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.
Balmy Blue is a light blue with a gentle cyan influence. It sits between blue and cyan on the color wheel, giving it a clean, airy and refreshing personality. Its hue of around 195° gives it a soft sky-blue character, its saturation of about 28% keeps it calm and pastel, and its value of about 92% makes it feel bright, open and weightless.
