Just barely more green than blue. (If you want something that's more blue than green, check out Kraken.) The coverage is pretty solid, and the shade is bright without being a “neon” shade. BareMinerals' Jade comes close, but even that color is a little bit softer than this one.

I got my initial sample of Gaeity before they had completely cleared their backstock of their old formula, and the full-size was in Fyrinnae's new formula - which is, texturally, more like MAC's Crushed Metallic pigments. In the past two years, Fyrinnae (and a few other indie makeup vendors) have added myristyl myristate to their eyeshadows. Myristyl myristate is a vegetable-derived fatty acid, and is approved for lip, eye, skin, and hair products; but I don't know how its inclusion will affect product shelf life (and I'm also not totally wild about how it changes dry application of eyeshadows.) I do like this shade, but I wish that I had gotten it in full-size before all the “old-formula” stock ran out. (I don't have an ingredient list of what Fyrinnae shadows contained before their reformulation, so I don't know if mysristyl myristate or cyclopentasiloxane were in their eyeshadows before…but it may take me a while to warm up to the new formula.)
