Cerulean

I love the word cerulean [suh-roo-lee-uh n] for two reasons: the way it sounds, cool and peaceful, and also its meaning.  Cerulean is an adjective that means "deep blue; sky blue; azure".  Blue (any shade, really, but especially a deep sky blue) just happens to be my very favorite color. :) Here are some examples of the word in a sentence:

Digging her toes in the sand, 

she gazed out at the cerulean sea.

I painted my bedroom cerulean, 

a serene color to remind me of sunny, summer days.

The child's kite resembled a big, colorful bird 

against the cerulean sky.

How would you use the word cerulean?  What else can you think of that can be described that way?
