> However "ao", the word for blue, can also mean green. So the translation could be either Green, Blue, or Jade Sun.

Fucking japan.

I'm quoting wikipedia, if you must know.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 2 23:23:25 2012 No.9671922 Only in older texts. Blue and green were considered shades of the same color category. Nowadays it is only carried over in older terms and used for stylistic purposes.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 2 23:31:51 2012 No.9671965 Blue and green are the same colors. So are red, orange, yellow, and purple. They all look the same to me.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 2 23:39:21 2012 No.9672010 Its the same for my language too.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 2 23:39:51 2012 No.9672012 Nips have little eyes so they can't see as many colors as real human beings.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 2 23:41:06 2012 No.9672027 It's not just japan. For some reason old cultures didn't feel like making a distinction between the colors of the grass, the sea, and the sky. I suppose in the future, we'll be made fun of for thinking Blue, Indigo, and Violet all look the same.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 09:52:31 2012 No.9673703 青 usually refers to any shade of blue plus dark green. 緑 usually refers to lighter greens like celery green. Generally, if the color has the tiniest drop of blue in it, than it's 青い.
