+1. And a celeste piano. I wouldn't play a piano any other color.

Basically, they are trying to hit an almost constantly moving target.
That is correct. Celeste is the color of the sky. It was originally introduced, by Bianchi, in honor of the queen of Italy at that time, Marcherita of Savoy, who had eyes this color.
The famous pizza Margheritha, with the colors of the Italian flag, was named for her; I don't know why they couldn't make a sky blue pizza.
Now, if you paint a bike sky blue, and apply a clear coat lacquer, and the lacquer yellows with age, you end up with a greenish color. That's the color Bianchi owners call 'Celeste.'
