Technically, the color of that notebook is closer to "teal" than "green" or "blue", which is a color kinda halfway between blue and green (fancy that).

From the "uninterested big-box store employee" perspective, though - I would think it to be more likely described as "green", not "blue". Maybe "turquoise" if they know what that is (of course, if they get that fancy with their colors, they just might say "teal" as well).

But if we were looking at this on an RGB scale, it wouldn't be #00F - it would be closer to #0F0 - possible something like #088 - which amazingly:

Is closer to the color of your notebook.

FWIW - glad it was returned to you, but I don't understand how they could think it to be "blue".

Then again, that whole dress thing - and a whole slew of other research on how people perceive (and describe) colors - definitely show it's possible...sigh.
