Teal is a medium-saturated, blue-green color, similar to medium green and dark cyan. Its name comes from that of a bird—the common teal (Anas crecca)—which presents a peculiar colored stripe on its head.
It can be created by mixing blue with green into a white base, or deepened as needed with a little bit of black or gray color.[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.
The first recorded use of teal as a color name in English was in 1917
