Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #75B1B6 and #70C2CA and #99D4DC and #A0E4EB may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #99D4DC and #A0E4EB may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED8E6 as the background, #A0E4EB for cards and surfaces, #70C2CA as the primary brand color, #99D4DC as the accent, and #011F22 for text (a computed darker shade of Turquoise, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
