context_page_description: Azure is a bright, cyan-blue color named after the rock lapis lazuli. It is often described as the color of the sky on a clear day.
  On the RGB color wheel, "azure" is defined as the color at 210 degrees, i.e., the hue halfway between blue and cyan. In the RGB color model, used to create all the colors on a television or computer screen, azure is created by adding a little green light to blue light. The complementary color of azure is orange.
  In the X11 color system, which became a standard for early web colors, azure is depicted as a pale cyan or white cyan.
