Beautiful throw (and cushion covers which I ordered , too) but under no circumstances could they be described as duck egg blue .. or any type of blue, really . They are a gorgeous aqua green colour.. I asked 4 people to describe the colour and I got 1 x green 1 x mint , 2 x aqua. Different to the picture on the website. I need duck egg blue to match with existing colour in my bedroom so Wayfair were great about returning them .. no quibble. Very disappointed , though, and still on the hunt .
