Aqua in human culture

Graphic design

• Color aquamarine is a more accurate representation of what would be called "aqua" in the world of traditional media.

Web design

• 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.
