Teal is labeled as teal.
The "description" of teal, for those who aren't familiar with the color, is bluish green to greenish blue as Wolf has so graciously pointed out (with supporting proof).
According to your line of thought, teal could just as easily be a "variant of blue".

I never realized that the color naming scheme used on a forum can be used to define colors. Will you also argue that
silver is not a shade of gray?
Teal is a shade of green. Teal is a shade of blue. In fact all the variants you listed are some shade of green and another color.
BUT since green is a the primary pigment in teal, teal is in fact a shade of green.
Oh and yes, teal can be seen as a variant of blue. As can Sea-green. But that’s not according to me but the accepted standards of primary pigments and color schemes. You did take an art class in school right? I suppose the real question is, “Did you learn anything in the art class you took in school?”.
When you really get down to it, EVERY color in the world can be described as either a variant of red, green and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, (black). That’s the two variants of the 'primary pigments', commonly referred to a RGB and CMY(K). Oh and K is black and is in () because it's not exactly needed as a pigment but used in printing as a primary pigment to use less ink.
Of course you don't know this..because you're ignorant.
