"A wakes APOCYAN, the blue of memory and brightest coral."[1]

A color of the Neathbow, apocyan is the color of coral, of memory,[2] and of the Zee's waves.[3] Chess pieces of this color are sourced from Port Cecil,[4] and Crooked-Crosses often lacquer their crosses in this color.[5] Blue Scintillack is extremely valuable and blazes with apocyanic radiance.[6] And an apocyanic piece of amber may be what brings down the Bazaar...[7]

Apocyan can also be used to create "daguerrotypes" of dreams and certain memories, often by blinking in these dreams to produce flashes of apocyanic light.[8]

The name "apocyan" presumably derives from the color cyan, which has a similar hue, and the Greek prefix apo-, meaning something between "off, away" and "descended from"[9], like in words "apostate" (gone-away from-a-cause) or "apocalypse" (un-covering).
