#55BBAE sits at 172° on the color wheel, placing it in the cyan family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 43% saturation and 53% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 85, 187, 174 produces a 9.11:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #55BBAE is a clear variant of CSS turquoise — about 54 units away from #40E0D0. Designers reach for cyan hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
