Bright blue shade (5)

I believe the answer is:

azure

(Other definitions for azure that I've seen before include "Cerulean" , "Heraldic blue" , "Sky-coloured" , "Blue like the sky" , "A bright sky-blue" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Jonesin', The Washington Post and The Times.
