Psychology

In deeper registers cyan reads as focused and efficient — a colour of systems and clarity.

Cyan as a printing ink became central to modern colour reproduction — the C in CMYK — because its complement to red allows the full printable colour range.

Design use

As a dark tone, it naturally lends itself to a primary background in dark themes, a strong border or divider, or a headline colour against a light surface. Combine with lighter tints of the same hue for a cohesive palette.

Colour pairings
