#48F9F0 sits at 177° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 94% saturation and 63% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, light tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 72, 249, 240 produces a 16.08:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #48F9F0 is a clear variant of CSS turquoise — about 41 units away from #40E0D0. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
