What Color is this Egg?

This is a picture of an emu egg I found on line. We have an emu egg at Fountain Rock and my boss always describes the color as "dark jade." Today in class we were talking about bird eggs and the topic of color got brought up. I told my profesor that he should get an emu egg, because it looked really cool and that it was dark jade.

My profesor says, "Oh, it's green?"

To which I reply, "No, it's blue."

And then I realized how rediculous that must sound, calling the egg both jade and blue.  My question then is what color do you think it is? The website I found this picture called it green, as do many others; but many other websites say the eggs are blue, and some have even said black (granted, different eggs look slightly different so some may be bluer while some are greener).

On a seperate occasion Karis has said she thinks I'm color blind. I will state though, that I have passed every colorblindness test I've taken.

I just mentioned my class in this post, and I think I mentioned it in a previous post, but I don't think I ever explained it.

I'm at Star Lake in the Adirondacks with 15 other students taking an Ornithology class, it's a 4 credit class and we're doing it in 3 weeks. We have 4-9 hours of birdwatching each morning and then lecture for about 3 hours in the afternoon.

As part of the class we have to be able to identify at least 123 birds by sight, 84 birds by sound, and know the Order each bird is in (if it's a song bird, we need to know what family it's in). I said at least 123 birds, because we have 4 quizes and my prof gives us a list of about 30 birds that we need to know, but at the end of the quiz (for both sight and sound) he gives us 5-10 birds that we didn't study but he thinks we should have picked up from being in the field.

These quizes are on top of 2 exams, each covering half of a text book about 3 inches thick (and we cover all but one chapter, a chapter which is an introduction to bird watching).

It's an intense class to say the least, and I've probably wasted enough time on here already (I have a quiz tomorrow... and I'm getting married in 5 days).
