The blue that demands you spell it correctly before you can describe it.
means A deep sky-blue, the color of a clear daytime heaven or a calm sea.
from From Latin caeruleus, 'dark blue, of the sky,' which most scholars trace back to caelum, 'sky' or 'heaven' — so the word literally carries the color of the sky inside it. The path from caelum to caeruleus involves a bit of sound-shifting that has puzzled etymologists, but the link to the heavens is the lasting thread.
