I don’t think turquoise and cyan are the same color. Are you saying you do?

Yup, maybe because of computer graphics; I tend to consider Cyan, Turquoise and Teal as some kind of synonyms (or really similar to eachother); ususally I call it when there is almost as much green as blue “Cyan”

When looking at definitions, there are not the same colors, but are still all different shades of Green and Blue (I don’t personnaly recognize them well, so I consider them with the same name; like people call them Green or Blue here)

My rainbow wheel be like: Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Cyan - Blue - Purple - Magenta - Red

Like for the pixels on your screen are RGB = Red, Green & Blue; and the paint in Inkjet printers are CYMK (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, blacK)

If you start out with the primaries and keep mixing to get the hues between you’ll end up with 6, then 12, and then 24 hues at the quaternary level. Orange is a tertiary color with it’s opposite being Azure.

Yeah, particularly digital to print graphics, working with CMYK had a similar effect on me.

Ah. Teal/Turquoise are the same to me: a blue green. Cyan is a neon light blue.

Cyan, #00FFFF: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/cyan/

Turquoise, #30D5C8: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/turquoise/

According to your website, teal would be a darker shade of Cyan

Teal, #008080: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/teal/

And by what I read #30D5C8, so Turquoise is a nuance near to Cyan, but grayer/desaturated (there is a bit of red), and a bit more towards green than blue (D5 > C8)

Cyan/Teal (darker cyan) are the true middle between Green & Blue, with exactly as much green as blue in it

The issue with the term light blue is that people think of light as being warmer and green tends to have a higher chromatic luminance. A true “light blue” would actually be periwinkle as it’s the tint of primary blue.
