Multi-Cultured?

How would I say that something is "multi-cultured" ?
In general, what is a good rule for attaching words together as we often do in English?
For example....
Blue-green
Muslim-influenced
modern-day
fenced-in

How would I say that something is "multi-cultured" ? "Culturalmente diverso" is a common way to express that thought.
Spanish doesn't necessarily "attach" words as does English.
blue-green = verdiazul
Muslim-influenced = influído por islám
modern-day = actual / moderno
fenced-in = encercado
I hope this has helped.

Interesting... this looks like a joining of "verde" and "azul" by replacing the 'e' with an 'i'...
Does this work: hombricerdo (pig-man)?
