["Timothy A. Gregory" <tgregory at tarjema dot com>]

Al-Mughni Al-Akbar gives أزرق قاتم, and http://tarjim.ajeeb.com gives أزرق
داكن for cyan.

Salam

as an online reference I am using Almisbar which is great in conjunction
with lisan al3arab. That's all!!! and the dictionary is great, I also use my
Sister which studies english at university ;) 
I for myself don't think a dictionary alone would make it BUT Almisbar is
the best dictionary I found out there. http://www.almisbar.com

cheers
