blue color

Ocean's typical shade

Blue color is the hue of a clear sky or deep water, one of the primary colors in light and pigment systems.

The phrase is somewhat redundant since blue already names the color, but appears when distinguishing blue from other attributes: The blue color of his eyes matched the ocean.

Blue ranges from pale sky tones to deep navy, with associations of calm, sadness, and coolness.
