Celeste, to me, strikes a balance between being breezy (light in shade) but not desaturated (dull/grey/limp), not dedicatedly green but not baby blue either.

Looking from a monitor and not my phone, that looks more like Pave Mint used on my Pake.

Pake C'mute touring build, pave-mint

With much trial and error, I found a nail polish that was acceptable for minor chips. I would deem this a celeste 'cousin'. It's unmistakably blue, but really difficult to pin down because of the proximity to green.
