My problem is I identified most as turquoise for me, but had to label one or the other. It was much more clear on the scale.

I grew up in NM around a lot of turquoise jewelry, and we absolutely distinguished between green and blue turquoise. I think there might be cultural differences.

Greener than 94% of the population, I see turquoise as more blue than green. But many of them looked like a combo to me yet I had to choose blue or green.
