As a British person living in the USA I often enjoy that the line between blue and green shades definitely differs between cultures and there are certain shades of teal that US/UK folks will strongly disagree on.
I’ve since noticed that I think this question of where “that is definitely green” ends and “that is obviously blue” begins is different for lots of countries

Here is a good video on colour and how many cultures perceive colour and name them, or not.
