And by what I read #30D5C8, so Turquoise is a nuance near to Cyan, but grayer/desaturated (there is a bit of red), and a bit more towards green than blue (D5 > C8)
Cyan/Teal (darker cyan) are the true middle between Green & Blue, with exactly as much green as blue in it
According to your website, teal would be a darker shade of Cyan
Hmm… By just the numeric hex code, I agree, that makes sense. Just lowering the G and B values makes it darker. However, lowering BOTH G and B lowers B twice, since G can be broken into Y and B by color theory, so blue is removed proportionately more. So, somewhat disagree.
I still don’t think Teal and Cyan are the same. I’d say Teal and Turquoise are closer, in my eyes. I think Teal is darker Turquoise moreso than it’s darker Cyan.
Yeah, exactly that kind of nuancing problem, that make me tell Cyan/Turquoise/Teal as “the same color” in everyday use (and for my fellows French people, that do not use to use Turquoise or Cyan words in everyday life, I use to say “Blue-Green”; but I don’t like to call these nuances either “Blue” or “Green”, as nobody never agrees depending on the nuance, and that makes awkward situations)
The issue with the term light blue is that people think of light as being warmer and green tends to have a higher chromatic luminance. A true “light blue” would actually be periwinkle as it’s the tint of primary blue.
Ah. Teal/Turquoise are the same to me: a blue green. Cyan is a neon light blue.

But at the end, color is all subjective.
