Notes
Teal 600 is the colour Headspace shipped in its 2022 rebrand and that wellness brands have orbited around ever since. Tailwind's hex pulls slightly cooler than that brand value but lives in the same emotional band - calm, slightly mineral, neither obviously blue nor obviously green. The depth lets it function as body type against white at standard sizes. It works as a primary identity colour for environmental, wellness, or biotech products. A warm coral #fb7185 accent produces a complementary palette that avoids the obvious teal-and-orange tech-startup template. Body text against white passes AA at body sizes and AAA at 18px and above.
