Cornflower blue is a shade of light blue with relatively little green compared to blue.

It is one of the colors available in a Crayola crayon box.

Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) are among the few "blue" flowers that are truly blue, most "blue" flowers being blue-purple.

Sometimes confused with Corn flour, a synonym abbreviation. Corn flour actually refers to a different, light yellow color.
