Two years ago i shared this website where you try and determine when a shade is either blue or green.
Posting it again because lemmy has grown quite a bit since then, maybe we have more people that havent tried it!

My boundaries is at hue 180. I don't remember my result from last time but neither do I remember my screen settings.
The thing is name of color depend on the language, frontiers and inbetweens varie from individual even in a given language.
In french, I would refer to "turquoise" as a light blue having yellow in it but not enough to be consider green. But I also use "vert turquoise" to describe a light blue that have just enough yellow to be considered a green.
I feel like in english "turquoise" refers to this second color rather than the first. I always feels like what is presented to my in english as "turquoise" has more yellow than a french "turquoise" but again. I would sometimes say "bleu turquoise" refering to that french "turquoise" to disambiguate from two very close hue which are to me two different colors.
