Teal is a medium blue-green color, similar to cyan. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a similarly colored stripe on its head.

It can be created by mixing blue into a green base, or deepened as needed with black or gray.[3] The complementary color of teal is maroon.[4] It is also one of the initial group of 16 HTML/CSS web colors formulated in 1987.

In the RGB model used to create colors on computer screens and televisions, teal is created by turning down the brightness of cyan to about one half.

The first recorded use of teal as a color name in English was in 1917.[5] The word is often used colloquially to refer to shades of cyan in general, including the color cyan itself, most notably in computer games where one of the players is cyan.

Teal was a fad color during the 1990s, with, among others, many sports teams adopting the color for their uniforms.[6][7]

Etymology

Its name is derived from the Middle English tele, a word akin to the Dutch taling and the Middle Low German telink.[8] As a color, its name is believed to have been taken from the small freshwater common teal, a member of the duck family whose eyes are surrounded by this color.[8]

Teal blue is also the name of a Crayola crayon color (color #113) from 1990 to 2003.
