21. Cyan
HTML Hex for Cyan is #00FFFF
Cyan from Greek, transliterated:
kýanos, meaning "dark blue substance" may be used as the name of any color
in the range between blue and green. Historically, it was not distinguished as
a separate part of the visible spectrum or the color wheel -- colors which are
now recognized as cyan were traditionally included in "blue," partly "green,"
or were considered mixed (intermediate) colors without a specific color term.
In additive color system, cyan is used to refer to the color obtained by mixing
equal amounts of green and blue light. It also can be made by the removal of
red from white light, which makes it the complement of red: cyan pigments
absorb red light.
