sea green

Teal's cooler cousin

Sea green is a color between blue and green, evoking shallow coastal waters where sunlight penetrates.

It's softer and more muted than emerald or teal, with a cool, watery quality: sea green walls, a sea green dress.

The shade varies but typically suggests the blue-green of calm tropical shallows rather than deep ocean.
