Savoy blue (Italian: blu Savoia) or Savoy azure (azzurro Savoia), also known as Italian blue (blu italiano), is a shade of saturated blue between peacock blue and periwinkle, lighter than peacock blue.[1] Since the middle ages, it is the colour of the House of Savoy, the royal dynasty of the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1946.
Having become a National symbol of Italy with the Risorgimento (1859–70), its use continued even after the birth of the Italian Republic (1946) under the name Italian blue. Currently, it's used in the Presidential Standard of Italy, the sashes for the Italian Armed Forces' officers and the presidents of the Provinces of Italy during the official ceremonies, and of the blue jersey for Italian national sports teams.
