Relating to or describing blue or blue-green coloration of skin, tissue, or organisms.
From cyano- (blue) + chroic (from Greek chroma 'color'). The adjective form of an older medical descriptor for blue discoloration.
Some species are naturally cyanochroic—like certain frogs and birds that have evolved brilliant blue coloration. Scientists discovered that this blue often comes from structural properties of skin, not just blue pigments.
