Memories of Colors (Turko)

Turquoise or turquoise is a light blue color with a greenish tinge. It is the color of the mineral of the same name. It is also called "Turkish blue".

The word "turquoise" comes from the French word turquois, which means "Turkish" in French, because the turquoise mineral extracted from the Greater Khorasan region, which is now on the borders of Iran and Afghanistan, was first brought to Europe via Turkey.[1][2][3] The first recorded use of turquoise as a color name in English is in 1573.
