Morphology
The meaning 'a color that is a mixture of blue and green' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'bluish' (tinged with blue) and 'green' (the color). This simple compositional color-description pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English adjective+noun formation, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Bluish green is an adjective that gives a simple picture: bluish means 'a little like blue' and green is the other color, so it describes something green with a touch of blue. So it is used to say a color looks between blue and green.
