Turquoise is a color that sits between green and blue on the color spectrum. It's reminiscent of the color of certain waters in the tropics, particularly those in the Caribbean or Mediterranean, as well as some gemstones. Turquoise is known for its fresh, calming, and slightly electric appearance.
In digital color schemes, like RGB, turquoise can be represented with a mix of green and blue light, often with some white to brighten it. A common RGB representation is (0, 255, 239), which mixes full intensity blue with moderate levels of green and adds some white (by the high value).
In the context of the CMYK color model, which is used for print, turquoise is created with a mix of Cyan and a lesser amount of Yellow, with no Magenta and minimal Key (Black). The exact values can vary, but a typical representation might be high in C (Cyan), medium to low in Y (Yellow), with M (Magenta) and K (Key) at minimal levels.

This is a conceptual representation, and the actual appearance will depend on the viewing device and the specific shade of turquoise used.
