Old French cort, enclosed-yard. As a color modifier, court implies an enclosed-courtyard quality, the visual register of Inn-of-Court-and-Chinese-courtyard hand-built stone-and-tile-paved enclosed-and-formal courtyard-architecture surfaces under London-Inn-of-Court-and-Chinese-courtyard enclosed-formal architecture light.

From the Latin caeruleum, originally referring to dark blue paint pigment of the Roman world, then via French céruléen into English. As a modern art-supply name, cerulean blue is the cobalt-tin oxide pigment introduced in 1805. The color refers to a clean, slightly green-shifted blue with the matte finish of mineral pigment in linseed oil: lighter than cobalt, deeper than aqua, with the painter's weight of a word for sky.
