I would love to know if "Cambridge Blue" is actually blue to the average person, because, to me, it's green...

It's named after Oxford Blue, which is in fact, blue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Blue_(colour)

The Cambridge Rugby blue which pre-dates the Boating blue is also more properly blue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_University_R.U.F.C.

that's green! whoever invented the name of the colour had a different vision
That's beige, but green.
