B is a bit ambiguous, being on the border between blue and green, but I'd agree that it's more blue than green. I think. But maybe that's just because you called it blue. :-) In a different context, I might've called it green, I don't know. But then, as John Cowan pointed out, it may also be an artifact of computer monitors. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
