#00998D Hex Color

Pair #00998d with charcoal or soft neutral grays to maintain a professional contrast without the harshness of stark white. Using warm, muted accents like terracotta can also create a balanced look that prevents the cool teal from feeling sterile or washed out.

This color provides a strong 5.9:1 contrast ratio against black text, which significantly improves readability for critical information. Its grounded, unsaturated nature prevents it from overpowering other chart elements while remaining distinct enough to anchor a dashboard header or primary interaction point.
