Though actually, -ish here is doing quiet work: it pulls the colour back. A green door is green; a greenish door only leans that way.

You can do the same with other colours (reddish, bluish), and with time and number in casual talk (sixish, youngish), but that last use is spoken and loose. Greenish itself stays with colour, and sometimes with a slightly unwell look.

You can do the same你也可以用同樣的方式 with other colours跟其他顏色 (reddish, bluish),reddish偏紅、bluish偏藍， and with time and number以及時間和數字 in casual talk在口語裡 (sixish, youngish),sixish大概六點、youngish算年輕， but that last use is spoken and loose.但最後這種用法比較口語、比較鬆散。Greenish itself本身 stays with colour,還是跟顏色有關， and sometimes with a slightly unwell look.有時候也會跟有點不舒服的臉色有關。
