Thank you for asking! The attributes of the teal color resonate with our vision and mission as it symbolizes elegance, creativity, calmness, concentration, uniqueness, and infinity. Individuals who are drawn to or favor teal are likely to be open-minded, inclined to keep their options open, and are not quick to judge situations or people. They may also possess creative and artistic inclinations.
In addition, teal is frequently used in branding for entertainment, communications, and creative industries and is often combined with lighter and brighter colors for businesses catering to children. The teal color draws its name from the common teal, a type of duck (Anas crecca), and was first recorded in the official dictionary in 1917.
