#1c6c6b is a dark cyan with a muted, teal-leaning cast. Its low lightness and gray undertone give it a serious, moody feel, which suits dark interfaces and moody brand palettes. It earns its keep as a dominant base rather than an accent, since it can look flat next to pure white. White text passes AA on it at about 6.2:1 contrast, and a dusty coral pairing keeps it from reading dull.
