What is the correct name to use with /give for Lapis Lazuli?

Lapis Lazuli is a dye. Each dye shares the same name and relies on the data value to determine what type of dye it is. To spawn it in, you need to specify that data value using /give's fourth argument:

/give <player> <item> [count] [datavalue]

To give a player one Lapis Lazuli, you need to specify a data value of 4:

/give <player> dye 1 4

These data values encompass other items too, like cocoa beans, bone meal, and ink sacs, which have data values 3, 15, and 0, respectively.
