Narrative:
Assigned 250 KTS for climb. Above 10000 ft I inadvertently accelerated to 265 KTS when ATC asked my speed. Realizing my error I increased my climb and reduced power to reach 250 KTS as assigned. Controller gave us a 20 degrees or so right turn. No conflict implied, no comments by controller.
