What would you call this color in Spanish?

In English we call it "aqua", which of course derives from the Latin word for "water".

Thanks!

aguamarina


Explanation:
Así lo diría yo porque me gusta mucho, aunque cian o verde agua también se utilizan, claro, porque la paleta de colores "aqua" es mucho más amplia y rica de matices de lo que podamos imaginar.
En fin,que los gustos no entienden de colores, o ¿era al contrario?
Un saludo y enlaces.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Como bien dices, hay muchas formas de expresarlo. Sin embargo, la sugerente "textura" y resonancias de "aguamarina" la convierten aquí, sin duda, en primera elección ;)
