The raya from the Zohar is based on the fact that Yarok in Chazal only refers to green. Two problems: 1)The Mordechai says befairush that Yarok in chazal is used to mean blue and yellow as well. 2)You expect me to believe that chazal never mean blue when they say Yarok and then when the Rishonim want to explain blue they suddenly all use Yarok?

About the arguing on Metzius: Since they’re all describing the same thing they have to all be reconciled. I have yet to hear a way to reconcile the Yerushalmi with blue. Everything else can be reconciled with green, except perhaps the historians. By the way which historians say this?
