What do I call these Do colors like these have a specific name OR special "category" of names for each?

I'm a graphic designer but I've a weak point. I quite don't know the names of these colors.

In my office and with friends, I useusually call each of them green. But I've noticed more and more my colleagues and friends call them blue instead. So it makes me think and seems quite logical to ponder about it.

So, I've observed common words like green/blue/light green for almost all of such colors. Like I said before, personally I've observed blue and green more and green or light green is what I call them. Here are the main colors that concern me:

  1. The color of my old avatar:

    enter image description here

  2. The color of this logo

    enter image description here

  3. Teal[1]

  4. Turquoise[1]

  5. Cyan[1]


The last 3 have a bit different problem. I have heard these names but not sure what they are really. I mean how to identify them how to differentiate or categorize them from 1 and 2.

If this question isn't clear, please comment.


[1] - Confused about it what is it, so can't find a suitable example.
