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