The above is LBB but the outdoor pics are also LBB. It isn't a single hue, it is metallic and changes hues. Let's stop trying to pick the best representation for a color that is mutable. |
I never claimed to be very bright and I probably do have a limited vocabulary 
When I say "dark" or "darker", I'm referring to the photo in the very first post. That particular photo of LBB doesn't, in my limited experience with the color, represent it faithfully and is too "light" in tone and depth.
So, you are correct. LBB is not dark in the broader context. It is, in fact, a lighter blue. It is, however, darker than the very light teal in the first post, IMO. |
Ok but comparing a picture outdoors is always going to yield a lighter shade. Between LBB and estoril, LBB is the brighter of the two blues. And yes LBB is as bright as the turquoise/teal color. Just because one facet is more blue (like with indoor lighting) doesn't mean that the color isn't turquoise in outdoor/yellow sunlight. LBB is all of those hues. One picture to represent this color is really hard to achieve.
