What is called "silver" by colour theory may tie to the color gold or "sky blue".
"The entry for "sky-blue" in Murray's New English Dictionary (1919) reports a first sighting of the term in the article on "silver" in Ephraim Chambers's Cyclopaedia of 1728."

Celeste (colour) →
Sky blue – Sky blue and celeste are similar shades of light cyan or azure, but sky blue is the more common term in English. Celeste is the Italian term for...sky blue. Propose rewriting article and changing the title to favor sky blue instead of celeste. Note that sky blue has redirected to several other shades of blue in the past; it currently redirects to celeste

Please note that the Spanish celeste is defined as being specifically “the color of a clear day sky with the observer looking towards the North” (in other words, sky blue), so it can't be the same as the very pale, aquamarine-ish Italian celeste. In addition, the popular concept of the color celeste among native Spanish speakers is wider than the definition given above. -- Gabriela Ruellan ( talk) 20:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
While the phrase "sky blue" can be used to refer to many different colors depending on opinion, scientifically the sky at noon observed from the equator at sea level only has one color: the real sky blue. This article should show an image with a color that most closely matches the real color of the sky under ideal conditions. I realize that a computer monitor cannot perfectly replicate the spectrum of the sky, but even the best possible representation would be helpful. 129.63.129.196 ( talk) 20:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

120.147.238.34 substituted "What makes the sky blue?" for "Why is the sky blue?". Native English speakers recognize "Why is the sky blue?" as a classic question asked by curious children. I have therefore reverted the change. Belastro ( talk) 19:08, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
In Russian, sky blue (голубой) is a basic color rather than a variety of blue. 64.53.148.83 ( talk) 14:45, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
