Definition
蔚 in modern Chinese is a bound form (不成词语素), meaning it cannot stand alone as a word. You almost always see it as part of compound words: 蔚蓝 ('azure, sky blue'), 蔚然 ('luxuriant, flourishing' – often used in literary contexts to describe a trend or style), and 蔚为大观 ('to present a magnificent sight'). The core senses are 'lush/abundant' and 'literary talent', but its most common everyday use is in 蔚蓝 for color.
b.f.
(bound form) luxuriantlush(bound form) having literary talent
