How to use #67c2ba

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Thin strokes and 1px borders — they disappear on light UI
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
Not as text
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #255B56
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #41A198

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

cleantechnicalfreshclinical

Cyan reads as water, air and infrastructure: cool, hygienic, engineered.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. The mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

Worth knowing

At high lightness it disappears into white surfaces and thin strokes vanish entirely.

Bottom row of hexes is the flattened result over white — use those when a design tool refuses transparency, or when you need a solid fallback.

#67c2ba, answered

What color is #67c2ba?

#67c2ba is a balanced soft cyan, closest to Medium Turquoise (ΔE2000 4.8). It sits at 175° on the hue wheel with 43% saturation and 58% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #67c2ba?

rgb(103, 194, 186) — 103 red, 194 green and 186 blue out of 255, or 40.4% / 76.1% / 72.9% by channel.

What is #67c2ba in HSL and HSV?

hsl(175, 43%, 58%) and hsv(175, 47%, 76%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #67c2ba a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.4501 and perceived brightness is 67%, so black text on it reaches 10.00:1.

Should I use black or white text on #67c2ba?

Black. It scores 10.00:1 against #67c2ba, versus 2.10:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #67c2ba accessible on a white background?

#67c2ba on white scores 2.10:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #338079 to reach 4.5:1, or #265F5A for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #67c2ba?

#C2676F sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #C2679C and #C28C67, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #67c2ba?

For interface work: #F4FAFA as the surface, #C5E8E5 for borders, #4B9B94 for secondary text, #C66384 as an accent and #255B56 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #67C28C and #679CC2 stays calm, while #C2676F is the loudest partner.

What is #67c2ba in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(47%, 0%, 4%, 24%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #67c2ba warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 85 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #67C299; nudged cooler, #65AAC4.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #67c2ba?

The teal family — its 500 step is #14b8a6, ΔE2000 7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #67c2ba as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #67c2ba in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#67c2ba] or text-[#67c2ba], or register the whole ramp under theme.extend.colors.brand so you get bg-brand-500 and friends. The generated 50–950 scale on this page is ready to paste into your config.

What is #67c2ba with 50% opacity?

rgba(103, 194, 186, 0.5), or #67c2ba80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #B3E1DD; over black, #34615D.

Is #67c2ba a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66CCCC, ΔE2000 4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #67c2ba mean?

As a cyan, it reads clean, technical, fresh. Cyan reads as water, air and infrastructure: cool, hygienic, engineered. At this moderate chroma the association is present but not shouted.

What gradient works with #67c2ba?
