robin eggs

Pale blue ovals

Robin eggs are the pale blue-green eggs laid by American robins, distinctive for their unmarked turquoise color.

The color itself is called robin's egg blue or robin egg blue, a popular shade in design and fashion: The nursery walls were painted robin egg blue.

The plural often appears as a color term without the apostrophe.
