cerulean
Cerulean (), also spelled caerulean, is a color term that may be applied to certain colors with the hue ranging roughly between blue and cyan, overlapping with both. It also largely overlaps with azure and sky blue, although cerulean is dimmer.
The first recorded use of ''cerulean'' as a color name in English was in 1590.〔Maerz and Paul ''A Dictionary of Color'' New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 190; Color Sample of Cerulean: Page 89 Plate 33 Color Sample E6〕 The word is derived from the Latin word ''caeruleus'', "dark blue, blue or blue-green", which in turn probably derives from ''caerulum'', diminutive of ''caelum'', "heaven, sky".〔(''Cerulean'', Online Etymology Dictionary )〕
==Use in artistic painting==
In classical times, ''cerulean'' was used to describe blue pigments, particularly mixtures of copper and cobaltous oxides. These early attempts to create sky blue colors were often less than satisfactory due to greenish hues and lack of permanence. When the pigment cerulean blue (shown in the color box to the left) was invented, it largely superseded all these prior pigments. See also Tekhelet.
