Pair it with a higher-contrast accent (warm if teal runs cool, cool if it runs warm) for visual hierarchy. Test legibility on both your logo and small UI text before locking it in — saturation that works on a 200px logo can feel overpowering at favicon scale.

Fashion & apparel

Deep cool tones photograph richly under indoor light and read as quiet luxury — strong choice for eveningwear.

Interior design
