Lobster color reference
Clawed lobsters live on rocky sea floors in cold and temperate waters. A living lobster is usually dark greenish brown or blue-black, and it only turns bright red when cooked. Its two big claws differ, one heavy for crushing and one sharper for cutting.
Colors to reach for
Use dark greenish brown and blue-black for the shell, with orange-red on the joints, antennae and claw edges.
