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

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.
