Sky Blue Screen
Sky blue is a light, slightly greyed blue, the colour of a clear midday sky. This page fills your display with it (#87CEEB) as soon as it opens. It's bright enough to light a face or a desk, and soft enough to sit behind a subject without shouting. For a deeper tone, try the blue screen; for a greener one, the cyan screen.
What people use the sky blue screen for
A calm backdrop
A flat sky blue field behind a product or a person reads as fresh and clean, without the hard edge of a plain white screen.
Soft blue light
Turn the brightness up and use a tablet or spare monitor as a gentle, cool fill light. For a proper face light on calls, the ring light works better.
A quick colour check
Put the same sky blue on two screens side by side and you can see at a glance which one runs warmer, cooler or more saturated.
