In Korea, 청색(靑色) looks blue. That's why 청와대(靑瓦臺), the official residence of the South Korean President, is called the Blue House and not the Green House. To me, 청색 is green because 靑色 in Chinese is green. In Korean, green is called 녹색(綠色) or 초록색(草綠色). It took me quite some time to tell the difference.
