Question: What is the name of this mysterious colour!?
I've searched on this site for example http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Web_colours but could not find one name for the colour directly between Cyan and Blue!.

RGB system:
Red: 0
Green: 128
Blue: 255

Percentage mix:
0% Red
33% Green
67% Blue

(Cyan is 0,255,255 and 50% green and 50% blue)
Blue is 0,0,255 and 100% blue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

After looking at the mix, I'd call it Sky Blue, as that's how I would like the sky to look on a clear, sunny day :)

Edit!.!. sorry, you asked for it's official name, I dont know but Ford used to paint a lot of their cars 'Sky Blue' here in the UK, and the colour you have posted is very similar to what Ford also called sky blue (closest thing I can think of to an official color name)Www@QuestionHome@Com

try looking at a different chart!. the one below has all the main colour names on it!. if you really want to get all technical and look at the values for each colour!. you would be best looking at Pantone referencing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try these two websites and take a look at the examples on the bottom!. I'm sorry I can't give you a direct answer (I'm not so sure myself)!. Good luck (:

If you look at standard colour charts from different manufacturers of pigments,they all have slightly different names for similar colours,so feel free to make your own!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not every color has a name!. And, with a few exeptions, not every named color has an exact standard of mix!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
