epa08416313 Members of the Uniao da Ilha do Governador Samba School perform during a Samba Schools carnival parade at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 07 February 2016 (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/LUIZ EDUARDO PEREZ ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET *** Local Caption ***
