[Daria Morgandorffer]

It's a gray-blue. Hard to describe.

[dylanite]

Outlandishly olive.

ok hmmm - I need a more masculine title though. I think my boss would shudder if he had to say the word "seafoam" in a meeting.

[ringstrue]

In my mind I'm thinking - the most boring shade of turquoise possible.

blue sage

But if it's really seafoam something, it's not very mavericky.

He wants a bad ass name, and black has never been accused of being a martyr-victim-bitch-ass-waste-of-time color.

of course we are all probably seeing different colors on our screens than what you see

[ttt]

Cojones green

[fuckstick]

Penicillin

[GailGoldie]

on my screen it looks like a grayish-blue.

[Deleted]

blue balls :-)

[WOT?*]

It looks very close to "Festoon Aqua" on the Sherwin Williams color palette, I think.

It's even closer I think to "Drizzle" www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6479-drizzle/

Chip It says dutch tile blue.

ETA: But I think it's closer to Benjamin Moore's azores (at least on my monitor)

www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/azores

Added again: this one is pretty damn close on my screen www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/grenadavilla

[WOT?*]

I also got Dutch Tile Blue. The sample is showing up a bit greener/grayer on my computer screen, I guess. It also rather matched the Halcyon Green when I went into the color visualizer and played a bit. But it's also after midnight and my eyes are tired.

I do think "Drizzle" is a much more manly-man name though. And it rhymes with "pizzle" and "fo' shizzle."

ETA: It is rather close to Azores, too. Azores is a bit darker and grayer on my screen than the sample but they're very close. And Azores is also rather masculine-sounding compared to seafoam or blue balls.

ETA2: Even closer to the Grenada Villa on my screen. Very close.

LOL, if we get a third to agree, I will consider my screen calibrated.
