Building with it

Light blue dye comes from a blue orchid in one step, or from blue and white in two. Swamps supply the orchid, and since blue itself needs lapis or cornflowers, the orchid route saves a resource that enchanting would rather have.

In practice

The blue orchid route gives light blue in one step and costs no lapis, which matters because lapis is what enchanting runs on. The mixed route needs blue and white, so the orchid is the choice for anyone who wants to keep the lapis for the table.
