aquamarine
March's birthstone shade
Aquamarine is a pale blue-green color, named for the gemstone that resembles seawater.
The gem itself is a variety of beryl, prized in jewelry for its clear, watery hue.
As a color term, aquamarine describes things with that distinctive blue-green tint: aquamarine eyes, an aquamarine swimming pool.
