coerulescens
Unattested L. caerulescens, caerulescentis bluish (neither caerulescere nor caerulescens have been found in Classical Latin, but their existence may be inferred from caeruleus azure-blue, by the example, among others, of rufus red, ruddy, giving rufescere to become reddish, and rufescens, rufescentis reddish).
