#6FAB9D Hex Color
Where Teal Mutes Into Mist
Aged sea glass captures this shade well. The hex code #6fab9d sits in dusty teal territory, its gray undertone keeping things cool and settled. That low saturation suits wellness branding and healthcare interfaces, and black text passes contrast checks easily on top of it. Use it as a supporting tone rather than a full background, where it can read muddy. Warm terracotta makes a surprisingly good partner.
