Positioning DNA

Cyan feels like lasers and fiber optics. It is inherently digital, making it perfect for AI assistants, crypto dashboards, and immersive motion graphics.

Because Cyan can become overpowering, use it for pulses, focus states, and key data points. Cyan 300 retains clarity when rendered as a translucent overlay or shader.

UX Applications

FAQ

How do I avoid Cyan eye strain?

Limit Cyan to accents and keep backgrounds dark. Introduce motion easing so pulses feel smooth, not strobe-like.

Does Cyan work in print?

Pure Cyan is difficult to match in CMYK. If you expect physical collateral, consider mixing Cyan with Teal or Sky for easier conversion.
