The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read cool. Both belong to the blue family.

How they read

In their own words

Viridian Odyssey is a deep teal that reads almost black until light touches it, and then it reveals an inky blue-green with real depth. At LRV 7 it is one of the darkest colors in the library — a genuine envelope color for panelling, cabinetry and rooms meant to feel like the inside of a jewel box.

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.
