Usage Note
Azulado describes something with a blue tint or that verges on blue — like pale lips from cold, a cloudy sky, or certain minerals. Color adjectives ending in -ado in Spanish indicate an approximation of that hue rather than a pure color (compare rojizo for reddish). The feminine form is azulada.
Examples
"El horizonte tenía un tono azulado al amanecer."
Natural Translation
The horizon had a bluish hue at dawn.
