Turquoise

#40e0d0

Notes

Turquoise (#40E0D0) is a true teal with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (174°, 72%, 56%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. Hydrated copper-aluminum phosphate, sacred to the Ancestral Puebloans and the Aztecs. The name comes from the Old French for 'Turkish stone' — Venetian merchants imported it through Ottoman bazaars.
