That's true for Italian as well ("blu" and "azzurro", which is a light blue)
- nathancahill 5y agoSame for Spanish (at least in LATAM): celeste and azul.
- darkwater 5y agoOh yeah in Italian there is also Celeste so there are three (although is pretty interchangeable with Azzurro)

- ertomentis 5y agoSimilar with Polish - blue is "niebieski", light-blue is "błękit" or, more rarely, "lazur"
