[lojban-beginners] Numbers of unspecified objects

When you want to use a number of unspecified things in lojban, for example: "Three are going" or "Five are blue-green" , what would one use?

{mu cu blari'o} and {mu zo'e blari'o} sounded grammatically incorrect.

{li mu cu blari'o} would refer to the number 5 being blue-green, right?

Using {mei} would be a possibility, but it would imply they did/are that en masse, which means it wouldn't work with for example {klama}

I expect a simple construct, since in lojban it generally is made easy to choose what you want to include and what not.

I've been looking for the answer to this question and it is probably a simple one, yet I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

din.
