How to wear sky blue
A light blue shirt is a wardrobe staple: it goes with navy, gray, beige or brown pants. With white jeans it looks very fresh in summer. For shoes, brown and white are the best options. For events, pair it with a navy or wine tie.
Sky blue in home decor
Sky blue walls feel calm and spacious, perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms. Pair it with white, light wood and beige textiles. A touch of yellow or coral in throw pillows adds warmth. For a coastal style, add navy stripes and natural fibers.
Sky blue in graphic and web design
Sky blue is a good background for health, education or kids' services websites. Don't use it for text on white because of its low contrast; use it as a background with navy text.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with electric blues or intense purples, because sky blue looks dull. With black it can look too harsh.
