Where did you find the sentence? Are you sure it is supposed to have a metaphorical meaning? As it stands I would take it literally: there is a place with blue oceans and green forests (forests green is a rather poetic way of expressing this) close to each other.

It is the title of an article. The article is about the forest which has woods and amusement parks.
When I read this sentence at first, I thought that the sentence means there is a forest near by ocean.
so I wonder what this sentence means? If it is written metaphorically, it could mean forest ocean something like that..??

I don't think it is a metaphor. They are talking about a real blue sea and a real forest.

>Where blue ocean meets forest green?
if this is arts commentary or even a description of nature, I'd have expected:
Where ocean blue meets forest green
(both "ocean" and "blue" as adjectives, for consistency reasons)
the meaning being
a special ocean-like blue color meets a special forest-like green

Hi guys,
In poetry and in writing of a poetical type, the adjective can sometimes be placed after the noun. 'The ocean blue' just means 'the blue ocean'. There's a well-known song that begins 'We sail the ocean blue . . .'.
