What color is Turquoise Blue?
Turquoise blue is a bright blue-green with a strong cyan lean, hex #00FFEF, similar to the surface of shallow tropical water. It reads as cooler than mint but more vivid than seafoam, with a clarity that makes it feel open and light.
What is the meaning of the color Turquoise Blue?
French traders brought the mineral turquoise into European markets during the 14th and 15th centuries, routing it through Turkey, which gave the stone — and eventually the color — its name. The color was first recorded in English in 1573, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. By the 20th century it was closely tied to Southwestern American jewelry and craft traditions, particularly through Navajo and Zuni silversmithing. Tiffany and Co. adopted a related blue-green as its signature packaging color in the 19th century, anchoring the hue to luxury goods in the public imagination.
