Cyan is the blue-green color that is between blue and green on a modern RGB color wheel.
The modern RGB color wheel replaced the traditional old-fashioned RYB color wheel because it is possible to display much brighter and more saturated colors using the primary and secondary colors of the RGB color wheel. In the terminology of color theory, RGB color space has a much larger color gamut than RYB color space.
The first recorded use of cyan as a color name in English was in 1879.[2]

Also, Blue-green is known as Maya blue in pre-Columbian cultures. In the Nahuatl culture blue represents the center of fire and tonalli. Also sometimes the blue color is diluted so it appears as a turquoise on manuscripts. The color is often used for the representation of Aztec rulers and European kings.[5]

- In Australia, a loosely-aligned group of independent and minor party candidates that ran in the 2022 Australian federal election were called teal independents for their blend of green and blue (Liberal) politics.
