Hi there
i think this is a whitefriars swan, can you photograph it on a white background one with flash and one daylight and hopefully get a correct colour on it, also can i get a picture of the base
here is a link to the whitefriars site colour chart http://www.whitefriars.com/colours.php

It's a gamble but I'm going for "Twilight" colour.

I'd say probably Ocean Green, if it's a 'greyish' colour. Twilight is a greyish-greeny brown, Arctic Blue a greyish blue, Sea Green is a clear green and not greyish.  Therefore I reckon it's Ocean, IMHO.

I must agree with Kaz on the Seahorse observation also.  In the third photo it looks like one of the flying dragons from Spirited Away.

Definitely need a better photo, I see a different colour in each one above Ocean Green, Twilight and Silver.

Here's a photo of My Silver one.
