Light blue is bought by people who have decided white is too stark and cream is too warm. It is a genuinely pale shade with a cool base, so it behaves almost like a neutral in a bright room while still being a colour. On silk it barely reads as blue at all in low light and shows the tone clearly in daylight.
\nIt is also the calmest thing in the range. Where the red and the black are decisions about how a room looks, light blue tends to be a decision about how it feels.
\nThese are two separate products with two separate stock codes, and we keep them apart deliberately. The blue pillowcase is a true mid-to-deep blue. This one is considerably paler. Some stores run both colours off a single code and send whichever is nearest to hand; we do not, and if you order light blue that is what will arrive.
\nWhite and pale grey bedding, and rooms with a lot of natural light, where a stronger colour can feel heavy by mid-morning. It also sits well with the mint green if you are buying a pair and want two pales rather than a contrast.
\nPale dyes are the most stable in the range, so fading is the least of your concerns here. It does show marks a little more than the mid-tones, though noticeably less than white. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, dry out of direct sun.
\n\nEvery colour is the same 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, with a hidden zip, and every one costs EUR 49. You can see all eleven together on the mulberry silk pillowcase page. For a lighter and less expensive fabric, the satin silk pillowcase is a different weave rather than a lesser version of this one.
\nSilk is smoother than woven cotton, so hair and skin slide over it instead of catching, and it holds less moisture so it draws less of your moisturiser off overnight. We make no medical, anti-ageing or hypoallergenic claims for it.
