Cornflower Blue

Cornflower blue is a medium to light shade of blue with a touch of green. This lovely hue was named for the vivid petals of the common European cornflower. Considered one of the few true blues in the botanical realm, this dashing shade pairs nicely with a variety of colors. Dark salmon, sky blue, and light purple help to make this color pop. Feeling adventurous? Paint an entire room this striking hue, accent with light blue throws and dark salmon pillows. Looking for a more subtle approach? Add accent pieces in this plucky hue to an otherwise neutral colored space. If your wardrobe doesn’t already contain shades of cornflower, incorporate this beauty into your next shopping venture. Try a cozy blue sweater, a sleek, fitted jacket, or a structured bag. Fingers and toes love this shade of blue. So do accessories, including belts, hair wraps, and footwear. Spice up a crisp white dress or blouse with this eye-catching hue. Add this color tie and pocket square to a dark (or light) colored suit for truly arresting results. This blue hue is endlessly appropriate for formal functions, yet works equally as well in casual settings.
