cyaanblauwtoon

Cyaanblauwtoon is a Dutch term used to describe a hue located in the blue-cyan region of the color spectrum. The blend of cyan and blue yields a cool, crisp tone that sits between turquoise and blue, often perceived as vibrant and refreshing. In color theory, such a hue results from a high blue value with a significant green component and minimal red.

Variations of the cyan-blue tone depend on saturation and lightness. The hue can skew toward cyan (more greenish) or toward blue (more purplish), while brighter versions feel energetic and lighter tones read as more modern; darker versions tend to read as more formal or subdued.

Applications of the cyanblauwtone appear across design, branding, fashion, and interior contexts. It is commonly chosen to convey clarity, coolness, and contemporary aesthetics. It pairs well with neutrals like white, gray, and black, and benefits from contrast with warm accents such as orange or coral.

Standards and representation: there is no single universal “cyaanblauwtoon.” It corresponds to a range of values in digital color spaces (such as sRGB) and print color spaces (such as CMYK). Designers often specify approximate hex codes or Pantone references when precision is required.

Etymology and usage: the name derives from Dutch, with cyaan meaning cyan, blauw meaning blue, and toon meaning tone or shade. The term is primarily used in Dutch-language design and art discourse to describe this particular hue. See also cyan, blue, teal, turquoise.
