One picture to represent this color is really hard to achieve.
My post showing the LBB samples was out in direct, bright sunshine and it was very unlike the OP's post. It was similar in the shade and indoors. It did have a teal tone to it but it was clearly very blue... even in direct, bright sunshine.

In any event, yes, this is a complex color Yes, it is a brighter blue The photos in post #43, #44 and below are all pretty similar (inside and outside shots) but the OP's picture is very different and, IMO, not attractive.

This is the picture I am referring to and it is in direct sun and, IMO, represents what my eyes were looking at...
