Morphology

bluishness = bluish (transparent) = blue + ish + ness

Built from the adjective 'bluish' with the regular nominalizing suffix '-ness', yielding a predictable noun meaning.

Etymology

The word bluishness is built from blue plus the endings -ish and -ness, so it means the 'state' of being 'somewhat' blue. A helpful way to remember it is to think of -ish in greenish or smallish, which means 'a bit', so bluishness is the quality of being 'a bit blue'.
