Color of the Week - Robin's Egg Blue

This week's color is Robin's Egg Blue - a rich medium blue color with green undertones.

Robin's Egg Blue works great with neutrals and pastels. For a more unique combination, you can also choose a bright, saturated color (like lime or fuschia)!





Fun facts about Robin's Egg Blue:
 
1. The first recorded use of robin egg blue as a color name in English was in 1873; it approximates the shade of eggs laid by the American Robin.

2. The name "robin egg blue" has been trademarked by New York City jewelry company Tiffany & Co.

3. When Crayola first introduced its crayon of this color, it was unlabeled. Purchasers were asked to submit ideas for the color's name.
