It's listed as a color if someone lists one for sale
It's listed as a "known color" if it appears in a set

| Hard to say without known colors next to it to compare
At first glance it doesnt look like dark turquoise to me, more like yellowed
blue, or even another case of brittle blue.
New part or found in a used lot?

Yes, but you can list it on the inventory add page and choose that color:

Even with the known bricks, I think it is more of a sun bleached brick. The
Dark Turquoise is a little brighter than your image from my experiences. I attached
a pic from my color chart that has some of the knows that you see in your image
for contrast as well.

The green doesn't look green and the blue doesn't look blue. It is really
hard for me to calibrate my eyes.

From the picture it doesn't look dark turquoise at all. Any other shades
of blue that you can stick in the picture alongside would be helpful.

Ok, so it's obviously NOT Dark Turquoise; that has a distinct greenish color
to it.
It looks like a badly sun bleached dark blue to me.

Dark Blue is not a known color for this part. My guess would be an extreme example
of Brittle Blue (which can come in several different shades).

...as has been mentioned, it's a faded Blue (aka "Brittle Blue"); I recently
sorted a bunch of curved slopes from a sorted lot I'd purchased this year,
and there were tons of this particular item in Blue that had faded to Brittle
Blue (the lot contained a large ziplock bag sorted by color with just this part
in Blue, and the fading was really noticeable when they were all together)...

Precision: all faded Blue parts aren’t Brittle Blue parts. Brittle Blue parts
are brittle, they break easily, and I believe their production was rather recent
(post-2000 I think) or at least limited in time.

Literally brittle or not, that item in Blue can definitely fade darker (brittle,
sunburned, whatever)... and that particular part was produced post-2000, regardless
of color (though I have never really experienced the "brittle" issue others seem
to find in parts, so I am somewhat ignorant to that issue)... essentially, I
was just attempting to use familiar vernacular that had been mentioned prior...

That’s understood
That’s why I “precised” that “Brittle” really means brittle: just use the parts
and they break.
Otherwise, faded parts are like the non-faded ones, it’s just discolouration
(or rather, re-colouration, as it’s yellowing: more yellow not less “original
colour”).
Note that there’s another Brittle colour: Reddish Brown, but this one affected
NEW parts and, IIRC what I read on the forum, it was produced during the LOTR
sets.

Dark Red from that era can be just as bad; I've had building sessions where
I'll go through 10+ 1x1 tiles just to find one that doesn't split in
half as soon as I place it on a stud. :I

Yes, I've had the same problem with 1x3 tiles and clone trooper arms from
9488.
