The Clear Azure Blue
Glide 30283 Azure delivers the specific clear, vivid blue of azure sky — clean and bright at medium value, distinctly azure rather than navy, cornflower, or teal. On azure fabrics and contemporary designs where blue should be purely, clearly vivid, Azure provides the most accurate match.
