14 Types of Baby Blue

Baby blue is a powdery light blue. This color name originated in the mid-19th century and is based on the light greyish blue eyes of some newborn babies. This can occur due to a lack of melanin production in a newborn baby and the color of a baby's eyes can change in the first few months of life as they produce more of this pigment. The term "baby blues" is also old slang for eyes. Traditional baby blues were more of a realistic eye color but during the 20th century, this color shifted dramatically to be very bright. This was probably due to the bright color of products and fashions marketed under this color name.
