#01AD8F Hex Color

Hobgoblin reads as a cool teal because its blue-green balance and softened green undertone create a clean, composed appearance rather than a yellow, warm one. It works well when a design needs calm energy without the heaviness of deep blue.

Hobgoblin pairs well with warm ivory for gentle contrast and charcoal for a sharper, grounded interface. These neutrals let the teal remain the accent, while muted terracotta can add restrained warmth to a palette.
