Teal Thinned to a Whisper
Not a saturated teal, #d6eae5 is a pale, almost grey wash with a faint green undertone. Its low saturation reads airy and clean, which suits wellness interfaces and healthcare branding. Use it as a large background base and pair it with charcoal or deep teal type; black text hits about 16.8:1 contrast. Next to pure white it can look washed out, so define edges deliberately.
