Misty Teal

2046-60

Misty Teal (2046-60) is a light mint green with blue undertones and an LRV of 73.40, placing it in the brighter pastel range. The dominant hue is a green-cyan, with the blue influence giving it a cooler, more aquatic quality than a pure mint or seafoam. At this level of lightness and saturation, it functions almost as a tinted white, adding color without significant visual weight.

It pairs with Salamander (2050-10) for deep contrast, and works alongside Palladian Blue (HC-144), Moonshine (OC-56), Healing Aloe (1562), and White Dove (OC-17) for balanced green-to-blue schemes.
