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.
