Is Cadet Blue blue or green?

Neither blue nor green will fully claim it. Cadet Blue at #5F9EA0 keeps its green and blue channels nearly identical, planting it on the teal border with a heavy dose of gray, a uniform-cloth coolness that suits the cadet in its name. Squint and it could be weathered copper or a north-facing sea.

The grayness is the feature. Saturated teals demand attention; this one recedes, which makes it one of the best mid-tone backgrounds for text-heavy pages, dashboards, and presentation decks. It supports both light and dark type at readable contrast and lends any layout a settled, faintly nautical composure.
