What's eau de nil? A colour obviously but what?

It's a sort of pale green. Often described as blue-green or sometimes yellow-green but that then depends on what shade is being referred to. 3 frames - two slightly different shades but I've a suspicion that two have been resprayed.
It means 'water of the Nile' - if you've ever seen the river the colour bears no resemblance whatsoever.

It's the colour of my room at the asylum

Think I've seen the colour. A bit like the Gazelle TVM team bikes?

I also remember a Carlton pro like the OP's but in a real pale baby blue which I liked at the time

Carlton pale blue was "lagoon blue", stonking colour and went well with chrome, colour reapearred on the Kermesse

Carlton had a, pale blue metallic, often used on USA bound frames, think it was "silver fox"

Carlton had some fab colour schemes BITD
