cyans
Printer ink hues
Cyans is the plural of cyan, a blue-green color positioned between blue and green on the color spectrum.
In printing and digital displays, cyan is one of the primary colors in the CMYK model: The printer is low on cyans and magentas.
Artists and designers distinguish between different cyans—some leaning bluer, others greener.
