Brighter than sea glass and more electric than pool water, this neon teal grabs attention fast. The hex code #17dfb4 is highly saturated and cool, so it earns its keep as an accent in a 60/30/10 palette rather than a full background. Pair it with deep navy or charcoal for contrast that feels sharp, not harsh. Black text sits at about 12.3:1 contrast on top, well past WCAG AA, which suits wellness branding and app interfaces.
