Aqua is a cyan color, used mostly by graphic designers and other computer-related professionals such as web designers.
[edit] Aqua in human culture
- Color aquamarine is a more accurate representation of what would be called "aqua" in the world of traditional media.
- The words "aqua" and "cyan" are used interchangeably in computer graphics, and especially web design, to refer to a subtractive primary color electric cyan. Traditionally that color, defined as #00FFFF in hex, or (0,255,255) in RGB, is called "cyan", but X11 color names introduced the alternative name "aqua". Later, W3C popularized the name by using it in the named color palette of HTML 3.2 specifications.
