Talk:Cerulean

message: This overlaps a lot with cerulean blue, but technically cerulean blue is a pigment with a specific shade, while "cerulean" is a broader term for sky color (according to OED). So I can't make up my mind whether we should merge the two, and if so, under which name. Stan 16:04, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess you'd be best putting the narrower term under the broader one if you're merging the two.  - Jimp 24May05
Cerulean is also the name of a city in the English translation of the original Pokemon games.
is the above piece of information notable? --Melaen 00:32, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I know that the conversion between colour spaces is a very tricky issue, but this page lists two different shades of Cerulean blue, which are different again from the value for Cerulean blue published by Pantone.
I suggest (based upon WP:V) that Pantone's definition should replace the other two.  Randomgurn (talk) 08:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different colour specifications? 

message: The first sentence of this article gives a range of color shades. It would be helpful to me to see an example or set of examples, ranging from the one to the other.Anonnymos (talk) 20:54, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples of color 

message: Methinks that the section "Use in artistic painting" needs at least a picture of the real (in this case: oil) paint with genuine PB35, not "just" of a hue of cerulean. Does nobody have the genuine PB35 (oil) paint to make a photo and upload (yes this paint is expensive I know), perhaps even in comparison with a couple of other colours like ultramarine (PB29) and phtalo blues (PB15) for comparison's sake?

thread_title:  Use in artistic painting 

message: In one place it is asserted that the first mention of cerulean as a color was in 1590; in another case it is asserted to have been 1859. Or is the distinction between "cerulean" and "cerulean blue"? Xenophonix (talk) 20:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably indeed the last was meant. The 1859 mention was really about a pigment, not so much a hue.--MWAK (talk) 06:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries
If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:21, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
