Notes
Light Sea Green is a mid-saturation teal that sits between Sea Green and Turquoise. The CSS hex carries enough chroma to function as a primary brand color while staying calm enough for large-area use. Travel, wellness, and environmental brands use it as a primary identity color. Pair with cream for a tropical palette, or with deep navy for tonal contrast. Against white it passes contrast for headlines and large buttons but is borderline for small body text. Body text against white passes AA at sizes 18px and above; below that, step down to a darker shade for body text use.
