Aqua to me is like the bluest water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-confusion-teal-and-turquoise#post-20104 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:44:12 +0000 shell 20104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, the link didn't work very well - if you click on the link as is, click on the first option - "teal - (color)". then go to the bottom of that page for the chart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-confusion-teal-and-turquoise#post-20103 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:42:48 +0000 shell 20103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah,<br /> I hear you on the confusion of the colors! They are often used interchangeably and difficult to distinguish with mere words.</p> <p>If you go toward the bottom of this link, there's a color chart that has the three colors you mentioned (along with a bunch of other variations):<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal_(color)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal_(color)</a></p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-confusion-teal-and-turquoise#post-20101 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:31:52 +0000 Sarah 20101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the difference between teal and turquoise? I’ve always used the two color names synonymously, but I hear they are different. Can anyone explain the difference? Pictures would help. And just to add more confusion, I’ll add aqua into the mix. How does it relate to these two colors? Just curious.</p> <p>Sarah M. </p>
