About cyan colors
Cyan — also called aqua — is the bright blue-green that sits opposite red on the RGB wheel. The keyword pair cyan and aqua both resolve to #00FFFF, and the family fills in with paleturquoise, turquoise, lightseagreen and darkcyan. It feels fresh, cool and digital.
Full cyan is extremely light in luminance, so like yellow it works better as a background or a glow than as text on white. Slightly desaturated, darker cyans and teals are far more usable and have become a common choice for a modern, calm brand accent alongside a neutral gray UI.
