使用する際の注意点

• At least in prose, not used for Egyptian turquoise, but beryl is described with this color.
• Tends to denote a variant of caeruleus (“deep (blue)”) that is modified with white (not necessarily in a simple hue-adjustment way), which leads to it being of different hues. It is relatively often associated with the sea. Cicero implicitly translated the word with caeruleus when he mentioned the color of Neptune's eyes according to Greek tradition.
• In the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae dictionary, the proper color significance of glaucus in Latin is considered to be a kind of green-admixed deep blue color of seawater (aquamarine?), although the notion is noted to be unstable, and to represent other modifications of what is caeruleus. Caution is required in interpreting Ancient Greek and Latin colors in terms of simple hues.
• A gloss is known for glaucus that defines it as "yellow or red".
