I recently made some study on colours and colour perception. I noticed that in all the colour wheels I checked, the names for colours not primary or secondary are often more fantastic or poetic than descriptive (e.g. viridian, sky, cobalt, dusk, crimson, emerald, amber...), but whenever they are used, they are used consistently. The exact meaning of these colour names has been defined often for centuries, like in coat of arms, painting, etc. And turquoise lies in the midpoint between cyan (180 degrees) and pure green (120 degrees). So definitely the left one.
If you need a colour wheel with "standard" names of primary, secondary, tertiary and cuaternary colours, I can translate for you the one I did. Or you can use it directly and check your spanish skills.
This reminds me a scene in Lost In Translation where the wife sends Bob some samples for a new carpet and they are all dark red tones, and she talks (by phone) saying that the burdeaux looks the best, and poor Bob searches around the samples, all looking more or less the same, thinking "which one is the hellish bordeaux?"
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey / Oh, since I set my eyes on you. / I tell you the truth.
I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...
