Glittering, almost neon teal with a cool, opalescent glow. The hex code #4ff7cd is very saturated and light, so it reads fresh and sparkling rather than deep. It works best as an accent: buttons, highlights, or type on dark surfaces, since it can wash out against white. Black text on top hits about 15.5:1 contrast, comfortably past WCAG AA. For a calmer partner, try mixing gray into it to soften the neon edge.
