Turquoise has a lot of yellow, cyan, and almost no red (other than shadows,
ripples, etc), in terms of CMYK. It can be a bugger on a monitor, where RGB
are your working colors. Play around with your individual RGB
white-point/black-point values in VS after you run through the various
generic profile types (can't advise you on the "how" without being there,
sorry, but Green will be key, Red and Blue *very* touchy). Go for something
very "butt simple" (a slide of mostly bright turquoise would be best, with a
few added "reference" colors--you can crop to get it). When you get close,
save the settings. They may not be of much use for other than water scenes.
It sounds like fun--or if not, at least "Character Building." :-)
Best regards--LRA
