Cobalt blue on warm, light skin tones (Light Spring)

The answer
No. Cobalt blue sits well outside the Light Spring palette. The nearest thing in the palette is #A9C6EC, ΔE 43.8 away. Under 12 reads as the same colour family; past 25 the two are visibly different colours.
It does not collide with anything on the season's avoid list, so the only question is distance.
