Sky blue
Sky blue is the name of a color that resembles the color of the sky at noon. The entry for "sky-blue" in Murray's ''New English Dictionary'' (1919) reports a first sighting of the term in the article on "silver" in Ephraim Chambers's ''Cyclopaedia'' of 1728. However, many writers had used the term "sky blue" to name a color before Chambers. For example, we find "sky blue" in ''A Collection of Voyages and Travels'' (London: Awnsham and John Churchill, 1704), vol. 2, p. 322, where John Nieuhoff describes certain flowers: "they are of a lovely sky blue colour, and yellow in the middle". The sense of this color may have been first used in 1585 in a book by Nicolas De Nicolay where he stated "the tulbant of the merchant must be ''skie coloured''".〔Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 204; Color Sample of Sky Blue: Page 89 Plate 33 Color Sample E6〕 Displayed at right is the web colour ''sky blue''. ==Variations of sky blue==
