Not a true teal so much as a faded hint of one. #c6efe9 is very light and barely saturated, with a soft green undertone that reads airy rather than cool. That makes it a strong dominant base for wellness, healthcare, and spring layouts, especially behind dark text, where it clears WCAG AA at a 16.9:1 contrast. Next to pure white it nearly vanishes, so anchor it with deeper neighbors like slate or navy.
