Sensible jobs for this swatch

subtle surfaces, chips, and table stripes
text or icons on charcoal / dark mode

Family context: Balance, healing, and sophistication. Popular in wellness and modern dashboards. Common uses still include buttons, charts, and accents in the Teal range — always verify the pair for this exact hex in the contrast checker.
