Color Me Star Struck

Q:

Preface  -  The alphabet is a pool of letters from which all words can be spelled.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cerulean and cobalt are both shades of blue.  Using each as a pool of letters, from cerulean we can get Lauren and from cobalt we can get Bacall

Consider these:

Lilac green                                                 Robin's egg blue
