Swerving, but honeychile did invite "friends."

To me, the Tiffany blue has a too much green in it to be considered azure, which I think of as a "pure" blue. I think the traditional definition of azure is the color of the sky, so I tend to think of something more like this:



That said, the color wheel at The Wiki shows a deeper shade for azure:



The color shown as azure there is closer to what's at the ADPi website than the lighter blue I think of.

I'm curious whether ADPi has specified the shade of "azure" it uses. It seems these days that most colleges and many GLOs, as part of their overall branding, have specified by Pantone standards, CMYK values and/or hexcode the precise shades of their colors. I know we have with red and gold. (Shades of black aren't much of an issue.)

I'll swerve back to my own lane now.
