The mosaic there was blues and greens, and it stretched up in a passable imitation of a door, a round wheel of yellow right where the knob should be.

The rainbow from which it took its name arched overhead, faint now in the blaze of sunlight, the blues and purples almost invisible, the reds and yellows washed of their color.
Радуга, от которой озеро и получило свое название, висела и сейчас над ним, едва заметная при ярком солнце: голубой и фиолетовый цвета были почти неразличимы, красный и желтый совсем поблекли.

Ethel Henderson sat at her machine before the window of Mr. Lagume's study, and stared blankly at the greys and blues of the November twilight.

The faint pink around his eyes usually indicated funky-junkie, but Roarke noted the eyes were the palest of blues-water blue-and just as clear.
Розоватые веки обычно указывали на потребителя дешевого наркотика, именуемого в просторечии «химкой», но Рорк заметил, что глаза у него бледно-голубые, прозрачные, почти бесцветные.

А потом взяли лодку и поплыли на веслах над таинственными глубинами озера, пристально всматриваясь в его зеленовато-голубые и голубовато-зеленые воды.

"Oh, sir," said one of the blues to him, "people of your appearance and of your merit never pay anything: are you not five feet five inches high?"
Ну, — сказал ему один из голубых, — такой человек, как вы, не должен платить; ведь ростом-то вы будете пять футов и пять дюймов?
