Hey CottonBall, I’ve been wrestling with how to coin a single word that captures the feeling of a felt animal that looks genuinely sad yet still feels comforting—especially one that’s been dyed in that perfect shade of sky blue. Care to help me refine the adjective?

Hey! How about calling it a “sky‑sorrow” or “blue‑comfort” – like a gentle, blue hug that still feels a bit sad but soothing? It’s like a feathered pillow that whispers, “I’m sad, but I’m still here for you.” That way the color and the feeling both get their own little nickname!
Genius
I appreciate the effort, but “sky‑sorrow” feels clunky and “blue‑comfort” is almost a tautology. How about “azure‑lament” or “cerulean‑solace”? They keep the color hint while sharpening the emotional nuance.

How about “azure‑snuggle” or “cerulean‑hug”? It’s the blue of the sky, but it’s also a soft, comforting cuddle that says “I’m sad, but I’m still here for you.” Those feel pretty gentle, don’t they?
Genius
Those sound nice, but they still mix the color and the feeling in a way that feels a little over‑cutesy. Maybe aim for a word that separates the hue from the emotion, like “azure‑pensive” or “cerulean‑wistful.” It keeps the sky‑blue reference while sharpening the melancholic edge.
