Skylight

No.205

A pale and traditional blue

This pale blue grey takes its name from the soft natural light that often pours through ceiling skylights. However, it is less reflective than Borrowed Light, reading as a definite cool blue when used in small spaces but becoming paler and greyer when used in larger areas. 

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones

Complementary white: All White

Skylight is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 101.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Changed our Lounge completely Revamping the lounge, we chose F&B wall & ceiling primer, Modern Eggshell Skylight No.205 for 3 walls; Pointing Estate Emulsion Pointing No.2003 for the ceiling, one wall, skirting and door frames. Estate Eggshell Oval Room Blue No.85 for the beams and painted the lounge pvc window frame with PVC primer and skylight. We are so happy with the result and have even ordered wood shutters in the skylight colour too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Calming colour We have just painted our living room from wimborne white to skylight. This paint changes depending on light from a pale grey to blue then to a lovely shade of green. This room is North South facing, 3m x 4m in size and always felt dark. This colour has a lovely restful calming feel and as you can see is in a modern house. They room isn't finished but we love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect tranquil colour Firstly I tried couple of match pots and compared them in different lights. Skylight is perfect in our bedroom, a tranquil colour which varies at different times of the day from a true pale blue through to a grey blue. Good coverage with 2 coats despite our lumpy walls! Very happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A surprisingly complicated blue In my west-facing bedroom Skylight appeared to be somewhat of a chameleon. Neutral pale blue in one light, unmistakably grey in another, sometimes even almost yellowy, with a proper warmth to it. Sometimes it is calming, other times - quietly invigorating. Looks wonderfully with dirty orange, moss green, lemony yellow, cream.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The most soothing blue I wanted a soothing, happy color that would go with my gray marble fireplace and match my kitchen that I painted with Green Ground. This was perfect! it’s a gorgeous color, more on the blue side than gray at least in my Room with windows south, west and east. as always this paint goes on beautifully without any Odor. Hooked

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Old fashioned powder blue With a north east light that is cool and clear I originally tried out a sample pot of Light Blue but it looked very dark and murky not a clean colour or particularly blue more sludgy grey hue. So I tried Skylight hoping it wasn't too white and it is perfect, a warm old fashioned powder egg shell blue and in direct light almost grey as seen on tongue and groove. The colour brought together the sky in the framed print, but also softened the look of the wall tiles along bath side. Originally the bath had a glass shower door and an upright shower bracket attached to a wall of tiles behind the bath taps,which I did remove but the wall came down with the tiles and I had to replace wall and plaster. Eventually I'll remove all tiles and flooring, although I'll stick with Marmoleum, as I'm wanting the bathroom to be a simple traditional room. Skylight is a perfect soft relaxing colour that changes from light blue to pale grey depending on light.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light & airy, yet warm & welcoming. I put much thought into deciding upon this colour. I needed something fresh & airy giving a feeling of light & space, but I also need my home to feel warm & welcoming whilst respecting the age & history of the property. That was a big ask for any colour & paint. I am delighted to say I found it all in Skylight. Itchanges with the day becoming bluer & more intimate as the lights go down - a beautiful warm powder blue that draws you in.Nothing about this colour screams at you. It is utterly elegant & completely understated sheer perfection. It ties together, highlights & frames the features around it subtly.
