Greek Ἄτλας, Titan-bearing-the-heavens.

Sits at the modifier-and-myth end of the grid, parallel to titan and zeus in usage.

The family Alcedinidae — particularly Alcedo atthis, the European common kingfisher whose iridescent turquoise-blue plumage gives the color its name. The color refers to a male European kingfisher's wing: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the iridescent satin finish of structurally colored feathers.
