Caribbean Green#00CC99, a cool-leaning brilliant teal

At a glanceCaribbean Green is #00CC99, oklch(75.0% 0.154 166.9), a cool-leaning brilliant teal. Pair it with a warm bold magenta #C9486E as an accent, a cool light blue #60BAE5 for harmony, and a cool-leaning faded green #BDCAC4 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.
