Why is this labeled as Celeste?

The blazon explicitly states that the arms are azure (In Blau ein schrägrechter silberner Wellenbalken, mit einer darauf sitzenden Schwalbe). As far as I know I have not seen a single German coat of arms that actually has celeste, all the while several arms on commons are misattributed as Celeste. Azure in german heraldry ranges from dark blues to this light blue, there is no need to lebel it as something it isn't as this might lead to people believing the tincture is used in German heraldry if they don't know enough German to understand the blazon.

@Kittenator1: It's a Commons thing because we need Tincture templates as palettes for drawing PNG and SVG coats of arms, where light-blue, bleu-celeste and himmelblau are called céleste. In Germany there are some coats of arms with "himmelblau" in blazonry. In the description field we do not describe the colors blazoned but the palette colors, we used to draw the coats of arms. For Bad Schwalbach, yes, the blazonry means blue as azure, but the palette color we used to draw it, is called céleste. Please check the categories of this file, there's no céleste within. (Please note: There exist German civic coats of arms with céleste blazoned, example: File:DEU Altgandersheim COA.svg). Kind regards – Doc Taxon • Talk • 15:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
