1. #3f6378

   

   Mallard Blue Color

   A drake mallard’s head reads green or blue depending entirely on the angle of light, because the color comes from feather structure rather than pigment. Mallard Blue color picks the blue side of that flicker, a dusky slate teal.

2. #455f5f

   

   Green Mallard Color

   A drake mallard’s head flashes emerald in sunlight, but in shade the feathers drop to this muted teal-gray. Green Mallard color #455f5f captures that shadowed version, dark and cool, with more gray than green, which makes it calmer than the bird itself.

3. #478865

   

   Mallard Green Color

   A drake mallard’s head flashes iridescent green in sun and near-black in shade, and Mallard Green color picks the middle of that range. The hex #478865 is a medium forest green with a cool blue lean. It’s calmer than the real feathers, which never sit still.
