   Nile Blue Color

   Nile blue is an actual laboratory dye, an oxazine compound first described in 1896 that still stains lipids and cell nuclei in histology labs. The paint color runs far darker than the stain, a deep slate teal closer to river water at dusk.

   Blue Nile Color

   The Blue Nile descends from the Ethiopian highlands through gorges deeper than the Grand Canyon before meeting the White Nile at Khartoum. This shade is more river-haze than deep water, a dusty, faded blue at #779fb9 that captures the view from a distance rather than up close.

3. #99be85

   

   Nile Green Color

   Nile green grew out of eau de Nil, the pale blue-green that Victorian Egyptomania made fashionable in the 1880s. This Nile Green color (#99be85) is a soft yellow green, greener than most eau de Nil paints. Warm light turns it pistachio.
