Color Psychology
Cyan can evoke freshness, calm and trust, with a marked calming effect; psychologically it symbolizes purity, professionalism and technology. For this reason Ice Green tends to leave a first impression of being fresh and pure in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.
