Is the colour duck egg blue or green?

Duck egg is often described as a pale shade of blue, with a hint of green. The name comes from the colour of duck eggs, which can have a bluish-green tint. So, while it's primarily considered a shade of blue, it does have a touch of green in it, giving it a soft and subtle look.

The appearance of duck egg can vary quite a bit depending on the colours around it, and the quality of the light in the room, with the same shade looking more blue in some instances and more green in others.

The variety and adaptability of the colour means a single room can incorporate a range of duck egg blue shades - light, dark and greenish - bringing layers of beauty and interest to the overall scheme.
