Technical Profile

What color is Utah Sky? It's a very light cool blue with the hex code #B1EBFB. Utah Sky is a distinctive shade in the Behr lineup, and while close cross-brand equivalents exist, its specific blend of cool tone and very light depth gives it a character worth comparing in person. Utah Sky has a cool (blue) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. Understanding a color's undertone is key to avoiding combinations that clash — it often matters more than the surface color itself. Utah Sky (#B1EBFB) by Behr is a very light blue paint color with a striking intensity that commands attention. It delivers an airy, open feeling that maximizes the sense of space in any room. On the temperature spectrum this shade carries a cool cast, lending calm and collected elegance. In its RGB breakdown, blue is the dominant channel, which gives it a subtle cool, atmospheric depth even under different lighting conditions. With a Light Reflectance Value of 88, it reflects the vast majority of light, helping smaller rooms feel more spacious. A barely-there blue like this soothes bedrooms, ceilings, and nurseries with its sky-like openness. An eggshell or matte finish works well at this lightness, hiding minor wall imperfections while still being easy to wipe clean. For color coordination, Utah Sky pairs beautifully with red tones for bold complementary contrast, or with neighboring blue and teal hues for a harmonious, flowing palette. Its cool (blue) undertone means trim and ceiling whites should lean neutral to avoid a jarring clash. If Behr is unavailable in your area, close cross-brand alternatives exist from Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, Valspar and others. In terms of mood and atmosphere, Utah Sky brings a crisp, spa-like tranquility that opens up a room and calms the mind.

As part of the Behr palette, Utah Sky benefits from a curated selection of coordinating colors that the brand recommends for trim, accent, and ceiling pairings. High-LRV colors like Utah Sky are forgiving in most lighting conditions, but they can pick up reflected color from adjacent walls, flooring, or large furniture pieces, so evaluate samples in situ. Very light shades can sometimes read as stark white on small swatches — viewing a larger area in your intended space reveals the true character of the color. Pair this shade with natural linen, light oak, rattan, and marble for a fresh, layered look, or contrast it with dark walnut and wrought iron for more definition.
