It’s the first full day of Spring and we’re waiting anxiously for bulbs and blossoms – a little colour! We’re showcasing one of our favourite colours – paying homage to Spring – duck egg blue.
There is no one colour that is the definitive duck egg blue. Like so many things in nature, there’s variance in definitions, colour and shade; some are a little lighter, some a little greyer and some a little greener. The tones are softer than its close relative “robin’s egg blue”. It isn’t aqua. Rather it’s a muted spectrum of pastels encompassing pale blues, greens and greys.
It’s a peaceful, soothing colour that, depending on the coordinating colours and surroundings, can be retro and contemporary, clean and country.
Duck egg blue pairs beautifully with other natural muted colours: whites, creams, greys and browns. Paired with dark grey and brown it is classic and elegant yet works well with the shag rug.
