How they read
In their own wordsDespite the name, Catalina Blue lives in the soft territory where blue meets green. It is a muted, sea-glass color — grey enough to stay calm, green enough to feel coastal — that shifts between blue and sage depending on the light it's given.
Light Blue No. 22 is one of Farrow & Ball's oldest colours. The brand says this silvery blue got its name because it was the lightest blue in its first collection of colours, and that it becomes a little more silver in tone when used in shaded areas.
