neutral  Maya Jurt: Are you no one? It's the precise color, either in blue or green. And it is not bleu-vert. There are blue-winged and green-winged teals, but no bluish green wings. Sorry, please look the teals up..

Bleu turquoise


Explanation:
Le bleu sarcelle et le bleu-vert ne sont pas des couleurs, à ma connaissance. Le bleu-vert est une teinte mais peut être utilisé pour décrire une couleur.
