Brighter than most teals, this cyan sits close to turquoise, like pool water in midsummer sun. The hex code #17ccc5 carries a fresh, glowing quality that suits wellness branding, spring themes, and app backgrounds. Its saturation can tire the eye at full-screen size, so it works best as a bold accent against deep navy. Black text reads clearly on it at roughly 10.5:1 contrast, and when it feels too loud, a touch of gray tones it down.
