"bleu turquoise" or "couleur turquoise"


Explanation:
Dear Rose, your question is not very clear. But I guess you want to know how to translate the color turquoise into French. Usually, we say "bleu turquoise" as in "J'ai acheté un pull bleu turquoise", you could even omit stating "bleu" or "de couleur" if it was totally obvious from context that you meant the color and not the stone.
