Hi, I have some duck egg curtains from Laura Ashley and they are definitely blue - I think different places have their own interpretation of duck egg - I'm not sure if all Laura Ashley duck egg material is blue but mine certainly is - I hope you find what you are looking for. Smile

Next seem to think duck egg blue is called teal so it is worth shopping around. :)

Hi i have seen a few cute accessories on www.melodymaison.co.uk they are cheap enough to give a touch of the colour in the rooms.

'Duck egg' is a really tricky colour. It can be anywhere on the blue/green part of the colour spectrum and also will appear more blue or green depending on your lighting and what you place it next to. So you shouldn't rely on what it looks like in shop lighting. You need to see the throw in natural lighting and also in the lighting in your own home. Check the returns policy before buying.
Laura Ashley 'duck egg' is definitely more blue and their 'eau-de-nil' is the green.
