cyanic
Having blue hue
Cyanic describes a blue or bluish color, from the Greek word for dark blue.
In chemistry, cyanic refers to compounds containing cyanogen, particularly cyanic acid.
The term appears in technical contexts—biology, chemistry, mineralogy—more than everyday speech: The cyanic tint of the mineral suggested copper content.
