Bath Water
Also known as: Dead Sea, Freezy Breezy, Poseidon Jr., Hydro Cannon
A vivid cyan with a clean and modern character, Bath Water works beautifully for tech interfaces and water themes. Its complement lands in red territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (15.51:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Bath Water works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: Sits in the trust register — a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
