About Treasured Teal

Picture a teal pool tile that's been in the sun long enough to soften, not to disappear. Treasured Teal reads smoother and more grounded than , which feels punchier and a bit more blue-forward. It's also calmer than , since its green warmth is dialed back so it won't feel "alive" in the same way. Versus Spearmint, you get less minty clarity and more blue-rich depth.

Use it when you want accent moments that feel considered across health apps, dashboards and finance apps, and design systems that need a steady hand in cards, badges, and hover states. It's the kind of shade that holds up on secondary buttons without tipping either too green or too icy, making it work as the one you reach for when would wash out and would feel too assertive. Pair with dark charcoal type and it stays crisp, not clinical.

Quick quirk: on very cool grays it can look slightly heavier, so test it against your actual surfaces before you lock spacing and contrast.
