Softer blue-green teal for restful UI bands
About Ming
This is the blue I notice when a mock starts looking too sea-teal or too gray. Ming reads mid-light, but it feels tighter than Ocean Slumber, with higher clarity and less haze. The undertone stays blue-forward, not green-leaning like Diver's Eden, and it doesn't carry the extra teal punch of Jade Jewel.
Use it when you want dashboards and finance apps to feel steady and legible, not misty and not charged. I reach for Ming on primary buttons, selected filters, and active chart accents in insurance portals, trading and invoicing workflows, and hospital admin systems where the UI needs to look composed at a glance. Compared to Ocean Slumber, it's cleaner and more decisive; compared to Diver's Eden, it stays more blue than green; compared to Jade Jewel, it's a touch more restrained so typography can stay the star.
Pair it with crisp whites and blue-leaning grays. Too much warm background color will pull it dull and slightly reduce that "finished" look that's the whole point.
