Does this look light blue or aqua? I think it's light blue. Also, I'm thinking RB10 #628, its a quart and the lid says Cohansey Glass Manuf. Co. Philada PA Patented July 16th 1872

I'd still call it aqua no matter which way in looks myself and cameras don't help at all.
Hold it to the sun and you may barely notice a color at all.
Things have to lean pretty heavy to the blue or a green before I would call a difference. If you look directly through them at the sun they can still look light aqua. I have a few green that are like that. You can also cause eye damage so I don't recommend it.
That may be just me though.

Nice jar and the wire and lid more than make up for a slight color difference.

I like it, I have a few jars that look more blue than aqua to me, but either way it's a neat jar, I don't have one like that so I'm thinking I might have to buy it :)

first one is typical aquamarine. The Ball jars are what they call Ball Blue but still aqua in my mind.

Okay, everyone else has put in their 2 cents worth, so I'll add mine. In my opinion, if you have to ask the question - it's aqua. There's bluish aqua and greenish aqua, but they're still all aqua.
