How to hunt blue
The sky is the obvious answer and the worst photo — it has no edges. Hunt blue objects instead, and shoot them against something warm so the color pops. Street signage is the most reliable blue in any European city; in North America, look for parking and information signs.
What blue gets confused with
Sky is blue diluted with white, navy is blue with the lights off, and indigo sits between blue and violet. If it reads cold and slightly green, you are looking at teal.
