I'm curious how many people don't know who FTW is?

Maybe a new set... please talk me into or out of this build. I’m considering other frames of course... (and entertaining ideas if anyone has anything).

It's officially called "Gloss Cosmic Mint with Oil Slick"
but my Tarmac is very, very Celeste.

Agreed! Rock Lobster bicycles look terrific in celeste/seafoam green.

To my eye, the classic Rock Lobster color is more of a green-green—as Blue Jays says, a seafoam green. The classic Bianchi celeste color is a blue-green, similar to turquoise. The two are close, but different. Kinda like the belts in The Devil Wears Prada ("It's a tough call... they're so different!"):

I have to say that I have an irrational soft spot for celeste Bianchis.

Torpado bikes also came in celeste historically. There are a couple hanging up in an LBS near here iirc.

Makes me remember that I had a Haro bike back in the 80s that was very much Celeste! Can't find a picture.

In person, Rock Lobster seafoam is a decidedly different color from celeste, the latter leaning much closer to blue.

Not sure which one is more "Celeste"

Celeste means "Sky Blue" so...

Do they have a trademark on the color? T-mobile has one on their magenta.
