Capri (color)

Capri or deep sky blue is a deep shade of sky blue which is between cyan and azure on the color wheel. The color Capri in general is named for the color of the Mediterranean Sea around the island of Capri off Italy, the site of several villas belonging to the Roman Emperor Tiberius, including his Imperial residence in his later years, the Villa Jovis. Specifically, the color Capri is named after the color of the Blue Grotto on the island of Capri, as it appears on a bright sunny day.

The first use of Capri as a color name in English was in 1920. The normalized color coordinates for Capri are identical to deep sky blue, which was formalized as a color in the X11 color names over 1985–1989.
