Bright, sparkling cyan with a green undertone. #3be5ee is highly saturated and very light, so it reads fresh and cool, like pool water. Best used as an accent: large fills overwhelm, and it fades next to white. Deep navy makes it glow, and desaturating toward gray (see what colors make gray) gives a calmer fill. The hex code #3be5ee suits tech brands and playful UI, and black text on it hits 13.6:1 contrast.
