Notes
Aquamarine names a pale cyan with a green lean, descending from the gem and the Latin for sea water. The CSS value mixed in 1987 for X11 is brighter than the real mineral but still reads as tropical shallows. Common in beauty and travel branding where a soft, refreshing tone is needed. Works as a flood color in hero sections or as a tint behind dark navy type. Against white the contrast is too low for body text - keep it for surfaces and decorative shapes.
