Hi

A woman is looking at a picture presenting a dove.

The dove’s plumage shaded from
a delicate silver grey to a dusky purple; its bill was a soft
yellow, its feet, pressed backwards, close to its breast, rose
pink. The sky about it was a pure azure blue, and below it
the waves, in even symmetrical curves like those in a
child’s drawing of the sea, varied from greenish turquoise
to indigo.

Does it mean that the waves were either or both greenish turquoise and indigo?

Hi, Some waves were greenish turquoise. Some were indigo. Some were shades that were in between, ie various combinations of both.
