Is this light blue too dark?

Is this light blue too dark?
I am making sort of a rainbow Bargello. I am sort of following a pattern called Glacier Bay by Elieen Wright, though I have changed the colors and the sizes of the strips so much that it is only going to be sort of that pattern.
My question is the light blue. I want this to look like several rainbows in a blue sky. The blue I have ended up using is not as light as I really wanted it to be. IF I am going to change it, I need to make that decision now, before I get too many more pieces up on my design wall. I want it to look like rainbows in the sky...okay, not realistic rainbows, but still rainbows.
So, is the light blue too dark?

I think it's a good "after the rain" blue.

I don't think it's too dark at all. Looking out at our sky right now, I see that it's even darker than your fabric. Of course, this is a cold, Minnesota winter sky. Maybe it's lighter in Texas. Seriously, I think it's fine and will make a beautiful quilt.

I think it works fine. I wonder if you could find one that has light blue shades "mottled" with white that would simulate a blue sky with wispy clouds? I have seen fabrics like that in lines like Basic Grey. It will be a bright and cheery quilt! Can't wait to see the finished product you always make such great bargellos!!!
