cyanblue

Cyanblue is a coined color term used in design to describe a shade that sits between cyan and blue on the color spectrum. As a non-standard name, its exact appearance varies by context, medium, and observer. In color space terms, cyanblue is typically perceived as a cool hue with strong blue and green components and little red, placing it in the range between cyan and blue on the hue circle (roughly 180 to 210 degrees in HSV notation).

In digital representations, cyanblue is commonly approximated by colors with high green and blue values and low red. Examples include rgb(0, 170, 210) or rgb(0, 150, 220), though many brand palettes define this color differently.

Applications of cyanblue include branding, web design, and product packaging, where the color can convey a sense of freshness, clarity, and a technological feel. It often pairs well with neutral whites and grays and can be balanced with contrasting accents such as coral or orange to create visual interest.

Because cyanblue is a subjective name rather than a standardized color, designers typically specify exact color values when consistency is required. There is no universal cyanblue standard in major color systems such as Pantone, CMYK, CSS color keywords, or HTML color names. As a result, its exact shade is defined by context, branding guidelines, and the display medium.
