The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Little Falls is a mid-tone, grey-softened blue with the ease of well-worn denim. At LRV 41 it holds its color in daylight without ever becoming bright, and its grey base keeps it from reading as nursery blue. It is calm without being cold.

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.
