Celeste (Spanish: [θeˈleste, se-], Italian: [tʃeˈlɛste], English: /sɪˈlɛst/) is the colloquial name for the pale turquoise blue colour. The same word, meaning "of the sky", is used in Spanish and Italian for the colour. In English, this colour may also be referred to as Italian sky blue. The Japanese equivalent is known as sora irocode: jpn promoted to code: ja or mizuirocode: jpn promoted to code: ja , referring to the colour of the sky or its reflection on the sea.
Bleu celeste ("sky blue") is a rarely occurring tincture in heraldry (not being one of the seven main colours or metals or the three "staynard colours"). This tincture is sometimes also called ciel or simply celeste. It is depicted in a lighter shade than the range of shades of the more traditional tincture azure, which is the standard blue used in heraldry.
