Good news and bad news for strap collecting noobs: Blue Fog (m.) is pretty lovely, but Lilac (l.) remains the light blue champ. Azure (r.) looked much closer to Blue Fog in the hero shots than in real life. All IMHO, of course.

in this case you can trust the names, mallard is def green and abyss blue is blue. Unedited:
Mallard is pretty much best in class (Dark Teal is just such a fingerprint magnet) but as much as I love Abyss Blue, nothing will ever best Blue Horizon.
I do love Abyss Blue. Just wondering, what makes Blue Horizon the best?
It just has such a rich watery saturation we’ve never seen again. I imagine it’s not something they can ever do with a solo loop either, as it must have chemicals very few sport bands even have.
There’s actually one in your new size on eBay just now for a good half off retail if you’ve never seen one…
Dragon Fruit and Ultra Violet share some of its richness but those bands also have a vibrance that places them in a slightly different category.
Interesting. I have a very modest collection where I am only selecting my very favorite colors based on what I have seen presented in this thread. I chose Surf as my favorite light blue, and Horizon as my favorite dark blue. I keep telling myself that I have my blues covered and don’t really need Capri...
-or do I? 😀
A little ‘hey mr postman’ bonus shot of the lone spring 22 Nike band (so far). Pink Oxford is somehow dustier and more saturated than the Sands Pink. Methinks there’s some glow in the goo. Open Box from Best Buy luckily barely worn 🤞🏽
Pink Oxford/Rose Whisper

Capri is the nicest blue by far.
I’d skip the other two and just get that one.In case you want to buyCapri is the nicest blue by far.

Looks good! Too bad I'm allergic to sport bands and probably will get a rash from Nike one too😒
Sorry a bit late on my reply, yesterday it had open boxes for 34, today I see only new for 40$ - edit: ah my bad you're 38-40mm, you must be right then starts @ $44

Here are my blues under a desklight on a cloudy/rainy day. And one just shot straight on with natural cloudy light.
L to R - Sky Blue, Azure, Surf Blue, Capri Blue, Blue Horizon, Abyss Blue, Midnight Gen1.
Horizon on Ti S7.
Wow, I think this is the first time I’ve seen Surf, Capri, and Horizon presented in a row like this. I am now convinced that I NEEEEEED Capri!
Honestly one of my favorite sport bands ever. Capri and Dragonfruit as my two faves? Honorable mentions for Ultraviolet and Rose Red.
