Examples from texts

Across the horizon, far, far away, the trees of the Janiculum stretched a green girdle, of a limpid emerald hue, whilst the dome of St. Peter's, more to the left, showed palely blue, like a sapphire bedimmed by too bright a light.
Très lointains, les arbres du Janicule fermaient l’horizon de leur ceinture verte d’un vert limpide d’émeraude, tandis que le dôme de Saint-Pierre, plus à gauche, avait la pâleur bleue d’un saphir, éteint dans la trop vive lumière.

The hills of Visens upon this side were empurpled, and shewed like a promontory of coral, in front of the stagnant lake of the ether, which was bright with a sapphire-like transparency.
De ce côté, les collines de Visens étaient de pourpre, un promontoire de corail qui barrait le lac dormant de l’éther, d’une transparence de saphir.
