Yes, but Mallard is well-named (maybe Valencia is as well, although I've 
never been to that part of Spain). Anyway, Mallard is a very deep, dark 
blue or green that does pretty much match the "neck band" of the namesake 
duck. Valencia is a medium-dark color, more towards the blue part of the 
spectrum.

Me? I've always thought of Mallard as a green, although I know it's 
listed in the "blue" sequence of paint code numbers. Guess it depends on 
one's eye. Valencia, though, is definitely a blue in my (increasingly 
far-sighted) eyes!
