    It’s CYAN. Teal and turquoise are shades of cyan. Cyan is a primary color. This post is like asking if yellow is red or green.

      It’s definitely yellow.

      But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.

      If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It’s exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it’s green. But if I asked if it’s green or cyan, we’ll have the same issue again, sinc it’s. 50% G and 50% C.

      OP gotta learn their colour spectrum a bit more.

      Cyan is a primary color when working subtractively, but for additive color the primaries are RGB. Since this is on a screen, green and blue would be the relevant primaries

          Are we talking additive or subtractive color? If additive then yellow is the secondary of green and red, and magenta the secondary of blue and red
