blued
Made cerulean somehow
Blued is the past tense of blue, meaning to make something blue.
Most commonly it refers to gun bluing—a chemical process that gives steel a dark blue-black finish to prevent rust: The gunsmith blued the barrel.
Laundry bluing uses the same verb: adding blue dye to whites to counteract yellowing.
She blued the linens the old-fashioned way.
