#75E4E9a cool bright turquoise

At a glance#75E4E9, oklch(85.5% 0.102 199.3), is a cool bright turquoise, close to Spray #79DEEC or Turkish Turquoise #77DDE7. Pair it with a warm bold scarlet #C94E3E as an accent, a cool brilliant blue #5198DD for harmony, and a cool faded blue #BCC9CA as a neutral. Try it as a screen-first brand or accent color, and it takes black text at AA contrast. It shifts further on press than a run can hold, though, so Rhapsody would keep it off print-led brand work.

Color family

What kind of blue is #75E4E9?

Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is #75E4E9's, measured rather than asserted.

#75E4E9's Munsell numbers: hue 0.6B, value 8.4 (how light), chroma 6.4 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block very light greenish blue, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 6.4 is low. This is a greyed, muted blue, nearer neutral than vivid, which is why it reads as a surface rather than an accent.

There's still some room before it hits the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. It could go a little more saturated and stay in gamut.
