#71EDCC Hex Color
Pastel teal with a cool glow
Pastel rather than punchy, this teal leans toward mint with a soft, cool glow. Unlike neutrals built by mixing gray, #71edcc gets its lightness from white, which gives it a fresh, springlike feel. It works best as a supporting tone or accent since it can wash out beside pure white. Black text on this hex code reaches about 14.7:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA.
