epa08416294 South Africa's Mike Schlebach surfs in the barrel of a wave at an offshore reef outside Cape Town, South Africa, 23 October 2017 (reissued 12 May 2020). Turquoise, originally the French word for 'Turkish' referring to the country of origin of the precious blue-green colored mineral gem, is the color that fits in between green and blue and covers a wide range of 'shades' from the greenish turquoise of sea waters to the blueish turquoise of summer skies. In color psychology it is associated with creating emotional balance and stability. EPA/NIC BOTHMA ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET *** Local Caption ***
