AQUA

Aqua is the Latin word for water. Aqua a greenish blue color, a variation of the color cyan. Aqua is more green than it is blue. The web color aqua is identical to the web color cyan, also sometimes called electric cyan, one of the three secondary colors of the RGB color model used on computer and television displays. In the HSV color wheel aqua is precisely halfway between green and blue. 
History:


Aqua from Latin: aqua for water.Aquamarine is a color that is a bluish tint of cerulean toned toward cyan. It is known as being the color of sea foam green. Although Aqua is more to the green spectrum, Aquamarine is a more deep green, perhaps a darker color of Aqua. It is named after the mineral aquamarine, a gemstone mainly found in granite rocks. The first recorded use of aquamarine as a color name in English was in 1598
The color Aqua is a comparison to Cyan except Aqua is lighter with a more neon tone, it is closer to the green spectrum although Aqua is mistaken for a blue color, it is misread as turquoise since turquoise is more to the blue spectrum.
The words "aqua" and "cyan" are used interchangeably in computer graphics, and especially web design, to refer to the additive secondary color "cyan". Both colors are made exactly the same way on a computer screen, by combining green and blue light at equal and full intensiity on a black screen. Traditionally that color, defined as #00FFFF in hex, or (0,255,255) in RGB, is called "cyan", but X11 color names introduced the alternative name "aqua". Later, W3C popularized the name by using it in the named color palette of HTML 3.2 specifications
