'more of a bluish colour maybe?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'reportedly view vegetable' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'view' becomes 'see' (synonyms).
'vegetable' becomes 'green' (green is a kind of vegetable).
'see' is a homophone of 'sea'.
'sea'+'green'='SEAGREEN'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seagreen that I've seen is " Geese ran (anag) - colour".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
