Cockatoo

Also known as: Peppy Peacock, Kinetic Teal, Synergy, Treasured Teal

Cockatoo is what happens when cyan turns medium and lively. The effect is cool and clear, made for healthcare apps and modern branding. Cockatoo plays well with red tones — the harmonies below show exactly which ones. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (10.35:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Cockatoo 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.
