Azure

Azure is a color that is perceived in the visible spectrum with a wavelength of roughly 470-480 nanometers. It is part of the cyan family of hues and is almost a pure chroma, having very little in terms of white or grey in its makeup. Azure is a cool color, with a tint of blue and a slight hint of green and is often thought to be the color of a clear, bright sky. It is the hue of the aether that lies above the clouds and transports color to the world in the form of light. The physics behind this color is that it is a result of the absorption of light in the orange and yellow wavelengths and the resulting scattering of light in the blue wavelength. This creates the distinctive blue hue that we see as Azure.
