Is the color greenish blue the same as blueish green?
Question:
Answers:
Color names are subjective, it all depends on how one perceives the color.
Greenish blue is blue with a tendency toward green, while blueish green is green with a tendency toward blue. Blue-green is a different story, here the primary color is dominant. When you add "ish" to the name of the color, it becomes a modifier and the other color is dominant.
To further complicate matters, in printed color green is a mixture of blue an yellow, so greenish blue is really blue with a bit of yellow, while blueish green is green with less yellow than blue. Fun, isn't it!
No, the first color is always dominate
No, greenish blue would be blue with a hint of green, and blueish green would be green with a hint of blue.
NO!
greenish blue will have a tad bit more yellow pigment
and blueish green will have a tad bit more blue pigment
love those primary colors! RED, BLUE, YELLOW!

well its techinacally the same...maybe the first color you say you can see more of it..but its practically same i suppose...! good lucks!
As a art major I know that those two colours are one in the same but the correct way to say it is Blue-Green because the primary colour ( blue)is always dominant and the Secondary colour (green) is last. So it would always be Blue-Green, Yellow-Green, and so on and so fourth.
I have to disagree with the previous poster.
The colors are not the same.
I was an art major and have been a professional artist for over 10 years. I have taken (and taught) color theory.
Bluish Green is green with a bit of blue. (more teal-like)
Greenish Blue is Blue with a bit of green. (more turquoise-like)
Just noticed that "painted skies" spelled color with a "u." I wonder if the professional standard varies from country to country or industry to industry.
I'm a graphic designer in California. Interesting...
Not really... greenish blue should have more blue in it than green, whereas blueish green has more green then blue...!
they are both considered cool colors of course...
According to "Color Theory" the second of the two color names that are put together is the dominate color. In other words, blueish-green would be green with a little blue added.
However, in the case of an equal mix of two colors next to each other on the color wheel, the appropriate term would be to use the most primary color in the first position. In other words, blue-green literally means an equal mix of the two.
To take it one step further, (in terms of pigment) to add white to a color makes a tint of it, while adding black will equate to making a shade of a color.

The first is blue but with a greenish hint but still more blue.
The second is green but with a blueish hint but still more green.
Surrounding colors will impact peoples perception of colour so some people may describe the same colors in different ways.
As an individual you will be consistant with your perception.
Same as ''is the glass half full or half empty?"
