Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as "blue"

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/

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.

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

Hmm... By just the numeric hex code, I agree, that makes sense. Just lowering the G and B values makes it darker. However, lowering BOTH G and B lowers B twice, since G can be broken into Y and B by color theory, so blue is removed proportionately more. So, somewhat disagree.

I still don't think Teal and Cyan are the same. I'd say Teal and Turquoise are closer, in my eyes. I think Teal is darker Turquoise moreso than it's darker Cyan.

But at the end, color is all subjective.

Yeah, exactly that kind of nuancing problem, that make me tell Cyan/Turquoise/Teal as "the same color" in everyday use (and for my fellows French people, that do not use to use Turquoise or Cyan words in everyday life, I use to say "Blue-Green"; but I don't like to call these nuances either "Blue" or "Green", as nobody never agrees depending on the nuance, and that makes awkward situations)
