Blue Lobster Color – #0055aa: Codes and Complete Breakdown

About one lobster in two million is born blue, according to the University of Maine’s Lobster Institute, because a genetic quirk makes too much of a protein that binds the red pigment astaxanthin into a blue complex called crustacyanin. The Blue Lobster color (#0055aa) is a strong cobalt matching those electric shells. Cook one, though, and it turns red like any other lobster.
