glaucous
Pale powdery blue
Glaucous describes a pale blue-green or gray-green color, often with a powdery or waxy coating.
The word appears most often in botany and natural history: glaucous leaves, a glaucous bloom on the grapes.
The coating on a plum or the pale underside of certain leaves is glaucous.
Occasionally used for sea colors: the glaucous water.
