Psychology
Cyan reads as cool, clean, and slightly clinical — the color of clear water, ice, and sterile environments. Calming without the gravity of deep blue.
Meaning
Associated with technology, communication, and freshness. It's one of the four process inks, indirectly tying it to printing, screens, and infrastructure visuals.
Applications
Strong choice for tech, healthcare, and wellness products. Use bright cyan sparingly — it can overpower neighboring hues.
