A shadowed teal so deep it borders on black, holding the weight of open water at dusk.
Peacock Plume
#145E68
rgb(20, 94, 104)
A saturated, glassy blue-green reminiscent of a peacock feather catching low light.
Emerald Current
#1C8A6E
rgb(28, 138, 110)
A rich, mineral green with enough blue undertone to feel aquatic rather than forest-bound.
Lagoon Teal
#2BA89B
rgb(43, 168, 155)
A bright, clear teal that sits exactly between tropical water and polished jade.
Shoreline Foam
#7ED9C3
rgb(126, 217, 195)
A pale, bubbly green-blue like sea foam caught in afternoon sun.
Sea Glass Mist
#BEEBD9
rgb(190, 235, 217)
A soft, frosted mint that recalls worn beach glass smoothed by years of surf.
Sandbar Cream
#F2E8CC
rgb(242, 232, 204)
A warm, dry sand tone that gives the cooler hues a place to rest.
Blue and green trade places constantly across these seven swatches, never settling fully into one family. Tidal Ink and Peacock Plume carry the moodiness of water under cloud cover, while Lagoon Teal and Shoreline Foam swing toward the brighter, almost tropical end of the spectrum. Sandbar Cream keeps the whole set from feeling aquatic in a purely cold sense, adding a dry warmth that reads as beach rather than aquarium. Psychologically the mix lands somewhere between calm and alert — restful enough for long reading sessions, saturated enough to hold attention on a hero image.

Spas, coastal resorts, and sustainable seafood brands can pull Peacock Plume and Emerald Current as primary identity colors, reserving Sandbar Cream for backgrounds and packaging interiors. Outdoor apparel and marine conservation nonprofits tend to gravitate toward Tidal Ink paired with Lagoon Teal, since the combination photographs well against both sand and foliage. Sea Glass Mist works nicely as a secondary accent in nautical-themed stationery or wedding suites, especially alongside brushed gold or driftwood textures.
Keep text legibility in mind — Tidal Ink and Peacock Plume both carry enough contrast against Sandbar Cream or white to serve as body copy, while Shoreline Foam and Sea Glass Mist are better reserved for large blocks of color or subtle UI states like hover backgrounds. Buttons and calls to action do well in Emerald Current or Lagoon Teal, both saturated enough to pull the eye without clashing with the surrounding blues. For print work, test Sandbar Cream under different paper stocks, since warm or cool paper bases can shift it noticeably toward beige or gray.
