The use of the term spread through the practice of heraldry, where “azure” represents a blue color in the system of tinctures. Heraldry in its most general sense encompasses all matters relating to the duties and responsibilities of officers of arms. In Heraldry, tinctures are the colours used to Emblazon a Coat of arms. In engravings, it is represented as a region of parallel horizontal lines, or by the abbreviation az. Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it or b. In practice, azure has been represented by any number of shades of blue. In later heraldic practice a lighter blue, called bleu celeste (“sky blue”), is sometimes specified. Bleu celeste ("sky blue" is a rarely-occurring tincture in Heraldry (not being one of the seven main colours or metals or the three "staynard colours"
Azure also describes the color of the mineral azurite, both in its natural form and as a pigment in various paint formulations. Azutite may also refer to a blue Green fluorescent protein derivative. In order to preserve its deep color, azurite was ground coarsely. Fine-ground azurite produces a lighter, washed-out color. Traditionally, the pigment was considered unstable in oil paints, and was sometimes isolated from other colors and not mixed. Modern investigation of old paintings, however, shows that the pigment is very stable unless exposed to sulfur fumes. [2]
In some color systems, azure is defined more specifically. In the X11 color system which became a standard for early Web colors, azure is a pale blue color. In Computing, on the X Window System, X11 color names are represented in a simple text file which maps certain strings to RGB Color values Web colors are Colors used in designing web pages and the methods for describing and specifying those colors
"United Nations blue", as it's called by the United Nations,[3] is the light blue color of the Flag of the United Nations and of the helmets worn by the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
