Not to throw a wrench into this, but bluing is also a word:

Bluing is a passivation process in which steel is partially protected against rust, and is named after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish. True gun bluing is an electrochemical conversion coating resulting from an oxidizing chemical reaction with iron on the surface selectively forming magnetite (Fe3O4), the black oxide of iron. Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion, unless also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic action. A distinction can be made between traditional bluing and some other more modern black oxide coatings, although bluing is a subset of black oxide coatings.

I realize this will be of interest to almost no one.

er, and est are used in comparisons.

This shirt is bluer than that one.

That is the bluest seawater that I have ever seen. (superlative)

Of course, blue can have other meanings like depressed or risqué. [blue movie]

I researched about it and found out that in Spanish, they don't use the inflections. So for example like "The pencil is blue. The eraser is bluer," in Spanish they just say, "La lapiz es azul. La goma es azul, tambien"

'Bluer' quiere decir más triste o más azul.
