Getting the teal right took longer than I expected

Getting the teal right took longer than I expected

This one gave me trouble. I made it for the teal-turquoise lovers.  — the kind of teal that looks a little crystal-like, glowing, but it was important to get the background  pale, so it wouldn't overwhelm the wave. 

To get the teal color I wanted, I had to get the cyan saturation and brightness just right. Then carefully adjust the yellow vibrance to get the green/blue tint of teal. 

When I’d go up on one, the whole thing was too blue, not teal at all.  Down on the blue, then it was too green. It took a long time. 

Part of my process is to stop and come back to it hours later or even the next day.  I did that 4 times, I think.

But it’s done and I hope my teal people love it.

It will be available 8/30. Get on the waitlist. You'll get 10% off — 15 minutes before it goes public. That's not a typo. 15 minutes. I'll send plenty of reminders.
