Also in Japanese they didn’t had a separate word for green for a very long time. Green was just a shade of blue. It’s why a lot of things like fruits and vegetables have blue in the name like 青豆 aomame literally blue bean or 青林檎 aoringo literally blue apple. Or why they call the green light on traffic lights blue.

The traffic light thing is actually quite interesting
