Turquoise and words for blue and green Outfit 566

 


Blue?

I bought a one-piece outfit, with the label Shein. The pattern is a mixture of turqoise and blue, or green. 


Green?


I remember reading that one language, or maybe some languages, more than one, have only one word for blue and green. Which ones. I googled it and got an A1 answer.

Vietnamese, Thai and Korean have one word for green and blue.

So do the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and N.W. Pakistan. 

Japanese has a word for blue and green but the word for blue is often used for colors that English speakers would consider green such as traffic lights and unripe fruit.
