As a color modifier, loggia implies an Italian-and-Mediterranean-roofed-open-gallery quality, the visual register of Italian-Renaissance-and-Mediterranean-loggia hand-built roofed-open-gallery loggia-and-arcade-and-pergola architectural surfaces under Italian-Renaissance-and-Mediterranean loggia-arcade afternoon light.

A shallow body of saltwater partially or fully enclosed by a barrier — coral atoll lagoons in the Pacific, Venice's Laguna Veneta, the Florida Keys' backcountry. The color refers to the average reflectance of a calm tropical lagoon at midday: a saturated, slightly muted blue-green with the optical clarity of shallow water over white sand. Brighter than reef, cooler than aquamarine, with the postcard weight of a Pacific atoll seen from above.
