What people use a dark turquoise screen for
As a saturated color, dark turquoise makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Cyan screens light the green and blue sub-pixels together while leaving red off, which makes them a precise diagnostic for a dead or weak red sub-pixel. Cyan also reads as cool, clean and watery, so a gentler shade works nicely as ambient or aquarium-style lighting and as a fresh photo or video backdrop.
As a test pattern, a flat dark turquoise field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the green and blue sub-pixels.
