#robin eggs

Pantone 563 color match.

Robin’s egg shell I found during my morning walk last weekend. At first glance, I thought I’d be getting some type of blue color match, but I think this is in the family of aqua green, what do you think?

I Googled “variations in Robin’s eggs color” and this is what I found:

American robin eggs typically display a range of blue and blue-green colors, with variations from pale ice blue to brighter, more intense shades. The specific shade can be influenced by factors like the bird’s health and the time of year, with earlier eggs often having a more intense hue.

The blue or blue-green color in robin eggs is due to the presence of the pigment biliverdin, which is deposited in the eggshell during formation.

Then a few hours later ...
