    I can’t help but imagine non-colorblind Japanese people scratching their heads, wondering why the fuck leaves were said to have the same color as the sea.

      I mean, the sea is hardly the same colour as the sky either (usually) and yet we still call both those blue so it’s not all that different. Though I agree that it seems like starker difference to me I can acknowledge that’s at least partially my own biases.
