editDoes anyone know what that British Standards stuff actually means and especially, can you provide an hexadecimal or even an RGB or CMYK mix?

- All I can find is this:
- "The colour shown* on this page, which has HTML hexadecimal code #96C8A2, is a compromise – part-way between a pale blue and the traditional colour. The traditional colour is between 12 B 17 and 12 B 19 on British Standard BS5252." From this page: [1] Lcarscad 15:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

- The Eton Blue define from this page is actually blue as opposed the overwhelmingly green defined here , what the bloody hell is going on? https://www.newandlingwood.com/the-editorial/post/the-history-of-eton-blue 99.159.28.37 16:26, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
