Guest at a Gender Reveal - Can I wear turquoise? Is that appropriate? Acceptable as blue?

This may seem like an odd question but my teen says people may think my shade of blue is actually green. (She has never been to a gender reveal FWIW either)
Here’s the dress I have, it’s just a sundress I purchased last year: I usually categorize turquoise with blue and teal with green FWIW. But this is my first gender reveal and I’m not sure if turquoise is acceptable or appropriate. |

| That is a green dress. |

| If you’re supposed to wear pink or blue, this is neither. Otherwise I don’t understand the question. |

It's both blue and green on my computer screen, but since there's a lot more green, I categorize it as green.
Do you think you have any of these types of color blindness? https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/eye-conditions-and-diseases/color-blindness/types-color-blindness |

| I’ve never heard of guests wearing a certain color to a gender reveal party. Are you supposed to be voting on what you think the sex of the baby will be? Cute game I guess! But that is definitely a green dress. It’s not turquoise |

Turquoise can be a shade of blue.
That dress isn’t turquoise, it’s green. I have no idea about fashion for gender reveal parties. |

| Is it that you know it’s a boy, so the guests show up in blue? If not, wear what you like. |

In many languages, blue and green are the same word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction_in_language Call it a grue dress and wear it with glee Anyone who cares is not worth worrying about, and I thought gender reveals were no longer a thing? |

| This trend of dictating what guests wear to make photos color coordinated has got to stop. You’re a guest, not a bridesmaid or a prop. |

| On my screen that dress is green and lovely. Kind of a seafoam green not a grass green, but definitely not blue. |
