青色 (qīng sè) — blue-green color; a hue that spans blue and green
Definition
A traditional Chinese color term covering the blue-green range — think clear skies, young leaves, and turquoise stone, not the bright cyan of a screen. In modern speech it usually reads as 'teal' or 'blue-green', a calmer, more natural hue than 绿.
