Better name for Tiffany Blue?

Summer, on February 6, 2018 at 6:47 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 11

My main color is basically "Tiffany Blue" - definitely don't want pure aqua or mint color. Did anyone else use this color, and did you call it "Tiffany Blue"? I feel like a spoiled brat when I use the term, not that I own anything from Tiffany's! But I'm getting to the point where vendors and family members are asking what the color scheme is and it'd be nice to have a quick answer I'm comfortable throwing out there.

A couple of terms I've seen are Limpet shell (but I'm not sure anyone would know what that is, they might think it's pink or white) or Robin's Egg Blue (but I feel like there's too much variation in this one!).

    I did consider Robin's Egg but when you google it, you get anything from powder blue to teal. I think I may have to just say Tiffany Blue lol.

    From Tiffany's website: The color known as Tiffany Blue was selected by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany for the cover of Blue Book, Tiffany’s annual collection of exquisitely handcrafted jewels, first published in 1845. Also referred to as robin’s-egg blue or forget-me-not blue, this distinctive color may have been chosen because of the popularity of the turquoise gemstone in 19th-century jewelry. Turquoise was also a favorite of Victorian brides who gave their attendants a dove-shaped brooch of turquoise as a wedding day memento.

    If you actually want people to get pretty close to the color you want, just call it Tiffany Blue.... Pretty much everyone knows exactly what color that is. This is a classic reminder of why you don't want to start getting really specific about describing colors.... Smiley winking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu1tODovlBQ

    Side note - Is it just me or has anyone else always thought “Tiffany blue” was kind of...well, green? 😂

    Either way, it’s unmistakable. If you’d rather not say it but want to be exact, it’s pantine #1837, according to google.

    Your goal is to communicate effectively with vendors. Tiffany blue is fine.

    I agree with finding the Pantone color of Tiffany Blue and referring to that-ost vendors should have a Pantone color swatch booklet I would think - I know our design team at work does and it doesn’t allow for any variation.
