Teal

Teal is a medium-saturated, blue-green color, similar to medium green and dark cyan. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head. It can be created by mixing blue with green into a white base, or deepened as needed with a little bit of black or gray color. The complementary color of teal is maroon. It is also one of the initial group of 16 HTML/CSS web colors formulated in 1987. The first recorded use of teal as a color name in English was in 1917.
