Light Turquoise#7EF4CC, a cool brilliant teal

At a glanceLight Turquoise is #7EF4CC, oklch(88.7% 0.122 169.1), a cool brilliant teal. Pair it with a warm bold magenta #C84A6B as an accent, a cool light blue #61B9E6 for harmony, and a cool faded green #BDCAC5 as a neutral. Reach for 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 teal is Light Turquoise?

Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is Light Turquoise's, measured rather than asserted.

Light Turquoise's Munsell numbers: hue 8.5G, value 8.8 (how light), chroma 7.1 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block brilliant green, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 7.1 is moderate. Clearly colored, but not so saturated it fights the colors around it.

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.

Munsell coordinates and block from the ISCC-NBS system, computed by Rhapsody's own renotation inversion.
