[Teal Beyond the mundane!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tea-beyond-the-mundane/1026025)

So I misread this one because I misinterpreted it. A little explanation…

In this thread:  
[Mind blowing facts, from the Atlantic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mind-blowing-facts-from-the-atlantic/1026111)

One of the ‘Mind blowing facts’ was (emphasis mine):

> Scientists discovered—or created, depending on your perspective—[a new color](https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2025/04/olo-color-berkeley-teal/682557/) named “olo” this year. (Those who have seen it describe it as a sort of _ **teal or a mix of blue and green** _.)

So when I saw ‘[Tea! Beyond the mundane!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tea-beyond-the-mundane/1026025)’ I read the exclamation point as a lower case ‘L’ and assumed it was a stand-alone post about the new color 😊
