Today I’m continuing with the A-Z Blogging Challenge. This year I’m doing an A-Z of Colours. I’ll be doing a variety of posts, including haikus and poems, arts and crafts, fashion and beauty, recipes and more!
For the letter ‘D’ I have chosen the colour Duck Egg Blue. Many wild birds lay eggs in this soft, turquoise blue shade.

Do you like this shade of blue? What does it make you think of?
This is such a pretty shade of blue. I wonder what flavour a macaroon this colour would be.
Blueberry maybe? I’m not sure!

Yes, very pretty color!
It’s one of my favourites.

I absolutely love love love duck egg blue – if it was up to me, everything in my house would be this colour! I never knew that deep orange could compliment it though – that’s something I’m definitely going to have to try out!
I adore it too. Yes, apparently it goes with orange. Sounds weird, but who knows?
