Brighter than a swimming pool liner and colder than turquoise, #11d6d9 is a fully saturated cyan with almost no darkness in it. That lightness makes it glow on dark interfaces, though it washes out next to plain white, so it works best as an accent or supporting tone rather than a full background. Black text passes contrast checks on it easily. It also adds a jolt of energy when mixing gray neutrals start to feel flat.
