Status: offline 		welcome to the world of colors and jars, there have been conversations adnauseum about the difference in color from one jar to another with no definitive outcome. Best advise I can give on sky blue is go outside, look up and if its a clear day, there you go. The other is get a box of I believe 64 crayons look for the sky blue one. The other thing you can do is take a regular blue Ball perfect mason with you and compare the colors.

best way I can describe it is ..it is very light blue almost clear with a darker blue around the base..it's not aqua it is blue

Status: offline 		Might be a little late in a reply,but just in case.I've posted pics of "SKY BLUE" jars in the past,but I don't know how to go back and find them.I just bought a new camera so today's project (besides eating way too much) will be getting frustrated and maybe posting some new pics.
To try to describe "SKY BLUE" alls I can say is if you're not sure of the color, it's not "SKY BLUE" .The color is profound and undeniable.

Is the jar a CFJCo jar?

OK,From left to right;
1)Ball PM...Ball blue
2)ATLAS E-Z  this is often called sky blue.
3)Kerr SS ...SKY BLUE, (see what I mean about undeniable)
4) ATLAS E-Z...light cornflower
5) LIGHTNING ...cornflower blue ( I have another Lightning that is a blackish cornflower)
6)MASON'S PAT....aqua
  Hope you can see the difference.As I've said,if you have to question the color then it's not special.
