Question

aquamarine Many of the houses on the Italian Riviera are painted aquamarine to match the Mediterranean. ˌɑkwəmərˈin

Accepted Answer

(1) A transparent blue or blue-green gem. (2) A pale blue or greenish blue that is the color of clear seawater in sunlight. Aqua marina  is Latin for “seawater,” so when a lovely blue-green form of the semiprecious gem known as beryl was given an English name several centuries ago, aquamarine seemed appropriate. Aquamarine is the ideal color that most of us carry around in our heads when we imagine the waters that lap the shores of the Greek and Caribbean islands on a sunny day. But even the Mediterranean and the Caribbean can take on lots of other colors depending on weather conditions
