14 Types of Cerulean Blue

 ,
Cerulean blue is a deep medium blue color based on a 19th century blue pigment. The word cerulean originates with the Latin caeruleus meaning blue. As such, the term was used for ancient blue pigments particularly mixes of copper and cobalt compounds that were thought to capture the color of the sky. The modern color cerulean blue is based on the color of cobalt stannate, an expensive 19th century pigment that produced a deep blue. It is currently common for another compound, cobalt chromate, to be marketed under the same name. The latter pigment is darker and greener. The following are common types of cerulean blue with a few related colors.
