There is a chain of red, white and blue restaurants. I don't know if it is regional or local.

All the Italian ones are named Blanca. White in Italian.

All the Mexican inspired ones are Rosa, Spanish for red.

Then the sushi restaurants are Blue, for blue. I guess they thought Blue in Japanese would be lost on the clientele.

I sat at the Sushi bar. There were 8 Hispanics making the sushi. Just a random oddity I noticed.

After reading half a dozen sites on the color Blue in Japanese. The word for it is Ao. And it means both blue or green. It would be added to other words to describe types of blue.

There is now an newer word for green. But it is still often treated as a shade of blue rather than as it's own color.

Interesting.
