Aquamarine
Also known as: Aphrodite Aqua, Overchlorinated Pool, Lifeless Green, Malted Mint Madness
As a medium take on cyan, Aquamarine carries cool and clear energy that suits healthcare apps and modern branding. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 13.38:1 on black clears AA.

Where Aquamarine works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: The safest brand-primary family there is; differentiate with an unexpected accent.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
