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

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.

PS. your jar sounds more like a light teal.
Is the jar a CFJCo jar?

it's a Mason's patent nov 30th with underscore 1858 block letters I don't think it's teal
