About Light Blue Dye
Light Blue Dye is a pale blue colouring item. You can use it to dye wool, terracotta, concrete powder, glass, candles, beds, banners, shulker boxes, and leather armour. You can also apply it directly to a sheep to change its wool colour, or to the collar of a tamed wolf or cat.
It is useful for pastel builds and for banners where you want a softer blue than regular blue dye.
How to get Light Blue Dye
The main way to get it is to craft one Blue Orchid into one Light Blue Dye. Blue Orchids grow in swamp and taiga biomes. You can also mix one blue dye with one white dye to make two Light Blue Dye. Occasionally, a wandering trader will sell Light Blue Dye in sets of three for one emerald.
