Worked for me, kind of stunning actually. Olo is a terrible name for an electric teal though.

It is for 010: red 0, green 1, blue 0 in the RGB cones

That's a cool origin, but doesn't end up sounding particularly memorable I guess

Well, this was the lead scientist on the project:

Damn that flashbang was brutal, and just before all the red was boiling (it seemed that I was able to see some stark pattern).

I think I have seen this colour before actually 😅

In nightclubs or light shows where they have a lot of switching between red/orange and intense teal...

What I got was a bit bluer teal, I think. Didn't feel like a colour that couldn't be reproduced by adding a bit of blue to the mix, but definitely different than just the teal on the screen on its own.

Interesting video though.

The jump cuts after every sentence made this video entirely unpalatable, maybe it's just me.
