The Story Behind Azure
Azure comes from the Persian word for lapis lazuli, the deep blue gemstone that was ground into pigment for centuries before synthetic dyes existed. It's become the standard term for a clear, cloudless sky, and it turns up constantly in travel and hospitality branding for exactly that reason.
