If the other 3 walls are painted white then use that wall as an accent wall.
Get a bunch of cheap picture frames from a dollar store spray paint them or Big Lots or Ikea and frame lots of favorite photos or even pictures from magazines. Add floor length white drapes, a few small mirrors scattered among the framed pictures, and maybe some houseplants to break up the amount of green wall that is actually visible.
You could add a glaze to it:

If you feel that painting over the entire wall is necessary, before you purchase paint, go to one of these links which enable you to 'paint' your room a different color to see what it may look like in real life.

Have you picked out a paint color that you'd like to change it too? I'd paint over the turquoise with a primer and then paint on a few coats of the new color.
You will probably have to repaint... I would try to get lighter paint samples and then prime the walls and paint a huge square of each sample on a poster board and see how it looks on the wall.
Turquoise is tough to cover. I'd start with a good quality primer and then repaint with your new color.
repainting is the best solution
