Laguna
Also known as: Sardinia Beaches, Blue Raspberry Seed, Celestine Spring, Reboot
Laguna is what happens when cyan turns medium and lively. The effect is clean and modern, made for water themes and healthcare apps. A orange counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.38:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Laguna 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.
