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 as a noun names the color you get when bluish and green are mixed; imagine adding blue paint to green paint until the result looks partly blue and partly green. That's why it means a color that is a mix of blue and green.
